I know lots of factors influence this, but I'm just asking for a guesstimate.
We tow a 2018 Ford F150 4x4. It sounds bigger than it is. Withe the aluminum body it's just under 5,000lbs, seats 6 comfortably with the front bench seat and can take you anywhere you want to go at your destination. There are no speed or distance limits on flat towing and it does not require removal of fuses or disconnecting the battery, just turning some knobs. We tow it behind our V10 powered Thor Miramar easily. I haven't figured the MPG difference , sorry.
