My truck is a 2024 2500 LT crew cab with the 6.6 gas engine and 10 speed trans. It has a payload of 3578 lbs. We pull a 22' Grand Design 17MKE that has dry weight of 5006 lbs. and a gross weight of 6395 lbs. The trailer weighs about 5800 lbs. when loaded up with all the gear. I don't fill the water tank for travel as most of our trips are to state parks that are within a day's drive. Depending on the wind I get anywhere from 7.5 to 9 mpg. I do use a weight distribution hitch (WDH) and have no problems with sway or being pulled/pushed side to side by 18-wheelers passing by me. The trailer is about the same length of the truck so that helps a lot. I say that because we traded in our 33' Grand Design 2670 MK (7800 lbs. loaded with gear) and using the same WDH, it would get pulled side to side by big trucks passing by me. It was not bad, but you needed to stay alert and know when a big truck was pulling up beside you. I got about 7 to 8 mpg pulling that trailer. I normally drive about 65 to 67 mph when pulling. Overall, I love the payload capability of the truck as I doubt I will ever get close to its limit and I love the stability it offers over a half ton truck while pulling a trailer. I have just over 30000 miles on the truck and have not had any issues. We live in Texas where it is relatively flat, just windy.
