For those that trailer their rigs what kind of MPG do you get and do you know how big your gas tank is? Or how far you can go before fueling up.

10-12mpg (gas) with 26 gallon tank. 5.7L '08 Tundra. Fortunately I don't trailer much. It pulls awesome, just not efficiently.

Not bad. Most Tundra owners report more in the 8-9 range. I like your numbers better though since mine is an 07.

Was getting about 7.5mpg down to Rausch and back pulling the barn door with an '04 Silverado 6.0l. 20gal tank made for frequent fuel stops.
Mileage is usually around 10ish mpg but I think a blown exhaust manifold gasket cut into the numbers some.
