I don't know how that compares to diesel motors, but I am pleased so far.
if your happy that's all that matters, I do have a 2014 f350 crew cab with the diesel and pulling my 14K 5th wheel I am averaging 15mpg in the mountains driving very similar to how you do, before I tuned it. now it is running emission on tunes and I am getting almost 17mpg.

I have a similar size 5th wheel and my previous 2016 Ram 6.4 gas Hemi averaged 7.5 mpg, and my current 2018 Ram Cummins averages about 9.3 towing at 62-65 mph. My best ever has been in the 11s.

Yup, this is more like it! Average for most any HD gas towing 10K+ is 8 mpg. The newer diesels, maybe 13, towing 12K+.

If you routinely catch the biggest fish, you are likely to get way over average fuel mileage too. IDK, just lucky I guess??
