i had a truck just like that a couple of years ago, a 2001, exact same color. mine had the big 4.3 liter V-6. and it can tow more than a pop up. i was towing my 19 footer that was 4100lbs dry with a quad in the bed. i would tow my flat bed trailer with two quads on the highway and get around 17 or 18 mpg....its a great truck, you will be happy with it.

yea, if i can remember, i would get around 9.5 or 10 mpg towing my old 19 foot pioneer. shoot, now i have a 2002 dodge half ton with the 5.9 and get around 8.5 to 9.5 mpg towing my toy hauler. but it weighs more around 7000lbs loaded. wish i still had that truck tho, great mileage on the highway and a stout little motor
