so you were only towing around 5300lbs? thats not very much. about 10yrs ago my grandpa crossed over the scales at 16,500lbs in a 82 dodge single cab 1/2 ton with a 318, and drove all the way from idaho down here to texas i dont think he could get away with that these days

Mine weighs ~ 6000 lbs.
I used to get ~ 9 to 12 mpg(US) depending on conditions towing 5000 lbs. @ 75 mph. Sometimes I was at 4500rpm in 2nd to maintain 50 mph up some of the longer and steeper grades.

ya, try to look at the registration paper that you put in the glove box, it should have the curb weight. my 05 1500HD has a curb weight of 59XX but with the lift and tires i round up to 6000lbs also...
