Yes I was
I will say too that was the only time I hated the 6 speed, it was shifting in and out of 5 and 6 a lot, got annoying.
Also just for reference, a friend towed about the same weight on that trip too with his duramax diesel and he was only averaging 13mpg. So 10-11mpg sucks but it's not bad considering, this year though I will leave early and take my time getting down there. Slow and steady show help the mpg's

What year was the Duramax? My buddy used to have a 2005 Dodge 3500 with the Cummins and it would get 18mpg no matter if he was empty of towing a loaded trailer.
I believe the truck was 3 or 4 years old, he was running a little bigger then stock tires too, which would hurt the gas mileage a little.
But the cummings is a much better engine. My brother had one and it was the same, 17-18mpg empty of full

The 40 can haul. Before I tore it apart I picked up a yard of stone dust in it.
