As for the Ranger, the limitation that had me changing trucks is the hitch rating of 750lbs. I still had 100lbs to work with the 1500lb payload capacity. The Ranger was about 1000lb less than the Ram base weight and had 3.73 gears so it makes sense from a mpg sense in towing difference.

I average 10-11mpg with my Ram (3.92 gearing) at 60mph towing a 23' 6000lb travel trailer. I got 11-12mpg towing the same trailer at the same speed with a 2019 Ford Ranger.
