OK here is my 2 cents. My company truck is a 2002 Dodge 4x4, 1 ton, dually flat bed, with a cummins and a 5 speed. The company has 4 of these at best they get about 15 mpg empty (which weighs about 9,000 lbs) loaded they get anywhere from 8-10 (pulling a tandem dual wheel gooseneck with a John Deere 310SG backhoe which grosses around 36,000lbs truck and all). They also have a Chevy Duramax which has automatic that gets better milage and pulls the load just as well if not better but the transmission went out last thurs. at 30,000 miles. That is not a cut down just a fact.
