Your correct they are heavy, Steve my oldest son football guy is 15 YOA and weighs about 225 in off season, 210 during football, keeps it off running everyday. Per couch potato currently but the other is about 75 lbs soaking wet, my tool box is loaded with everything I would need to do any job on the road plus air compressor and 10K lb winch as well. When I weighed it it was without hitch but that could weigh I would think less than 150lbs. I get around 14-16 mpg not towing and that's if I treat the pedal good or at least stay less than 2500 RPM's over that MPG go down fast. I tow about everything from 14K camper to 8K equipment trailer I don't care what I pull it gets about 11-12.5 MPG. I really would thing towing our camper would be less but really not, have three equipment trailers from a 5K to 12K trailer and push tow mode and get about same no matter what. I have seen in interstate not towing after rest about 19-20 mpg but once I start stop and go drops to 14-16 at best.
