My 2022 Ram laramie 1500 gets 7.5 mpg while towing my camper. The truck handles the camper fine. I'm using a good weight distribution hitch and utilize the haul/tow feature. What does everyone else average while towing? 7.5 seems pretty low to me. My camper is a 28' that weighs in around 6400 lbs.

Glad to hear that. I've got the 3.21 gears also.
 
22ft Passport BHS single axle, no slide out, 8ft wide. 5.7 e-torque, 3.92 gears, 4 corner air suspension. Im seeing right at 10mpg. Previous 19 big horn minue etorque and air suspension got pretty much same thing. Both mostly 55mph roads with less than 1hr on big roads with higher speed limits.
 
I have Forest River Micro Lite 25BRDS towing with my 2000 Ram Rebel 1500 eco diesel. Usually around 70 MPH, I am getting 12-13 MPG. I got 33 gallons fuel tank, so my range is over 350 miles.

My 2019 Ram has a 5.7 Hemi, 3.92 Rear End, and gets 8.0 - 8.5 MPG, towing our camper in Tow/Haul Mode. Our Camper is a 2017 Winnebago Minnie 2500RL weighs around 6400-6500, about 29 feet Hitch to Rear Bumper. I'm using a Curt Equalizer 10,000# Hitch. I have an Airlift Wireless One 50# Combo for my Rear Spring Lift and Stabilizer. Works good, usually have it set at 25#. If it's Windy, I boost it to 30-35# (That's the highest air pressure I've ever had to use to control sway.) When Not towing, I drop the Air Pressure down to the minimum 5#. When Not towing I get around 17 MPG, but have gotten 22 MPG if I behave (55 MPH or so). I have 106,000 miles on my truck.
