Fuel mileage while towing?

For the first 20,000ish miles I was in and out of 2 different dealerships for a hard right pull, that never got fixed by either dealer. I took it to a place called Jims Alignment in Prescott. $50 and an hour and it was fixed.

 

Had a rear driveline vibration that the dealership "could not duplicate," that I fixed myself by taking the driveshaft into my local 4x4 driveshaft shop and had rebalanced.

 

Right rear door doesn't like to close without slamming. Dealership said its fine. 

 

OE tires wore funny, even after rebalancing, I chocked that up to the right pull. 

 

Rear end bangs around a lot. And I mean a lot. Limited slip engages very hard. Same story, dealer says its normal. This is my 3rd brand new truck, the others didn't bang like this, but the others were also 3/4 tons.

 

Pretty much all driveline issues. This past June, I had an AFM lifter fail and wipe out a cam lobe. Engine was replaced. 

 

Consider finding a different dealer.

I towed a toy hauler with my 17 1500 when it only had 6000 miles on it...from RI to IN and back. 6500 lbs loaded. I saw around 10 mpg average. 70 mph or so tops. What you’re seeing is normal. The 3.43s don’t help. I had an 04 z71 that had 3.73 and got 21 mpg no matter what I did with it on the highway. I miss that truck. Should have done the brake lines and body work and kept it.
