gets like 18 hwy unloaded and with the 16' trailer and the '86 it gets around 15 mpg. So smooth I don't even know it's back there.

I tow and daily my 06 Silverado 1/2 ton Crew Cab 2wd with the 5.3 V8. It has the higher 3:23 rear end so its not the fastest truck out there but it tows my 03 GMC Sierra on the 20' trailer just fine. I towed the truck to HAVOC and averaged 14.5 mpg towing. In town I've been getting right at 18mpg and out on the hwy around 22-23 mpg. I have no complaints what so ever. I traded an 00 Suburban 4wd 1/2 ton for the Silverado and it was a great move IMO. Also I drive 104 miles round trip for work that is a mix of in town and hwy and I've been getting 20mpg doin that. The only things done to the truck are a Flowmaster muffler and replacement Filter, thats it.
