Charles, you should be able to hit at least 20-22 mpg with your truck if you keep the speed down and keep your foot out of it.
Yeah, shooting for 20+ on this highway trip. 20mpg won't be too shabby for a 381hp/400tq brick with 10k lb tow rating. I typically only put my foot in it 3-4 times per tank when I need to get into traffic. I'm already starting with a slight handicap with the tow package and 4.30 rear gear, I suspect Toyota submitted a base truck with the 4.10's for EPA testing.
Some of the scooters are pretty cool, it'd be nice to at least reach 50mph though!
