My 98 Dodge Cummins 1 ton is a little older than what you're looking for, but I can tell you what it's capable of mileage wise. This is a ton dually five speed so the mileage might be lower than a 3/4 ton. Loaded to 21000 pounds total vehicle/trailer weight (header trailer with 1- 40' header) it gets high nines to maybe ten MPG. It'll cruise at 60 MPH and will pull slight hills without losing ground with this load. Hard hills knock it down to 50 mph and a really hard mountain climb pulls it down to 35, but the big rigs aren't going any faster on this hard of a climb. The best mileage and power happens in the 2100-2300 RPM range. Highway mileage when empty is mid-16's.
I've driven a 1 ton dually Duramax loaded to about 28000 pounds vehicle/trailer with pretty good wind resistance. (double header trailer with 2- 39' headers) It struggled to maintain 60 and the mileage was in the 7-9 range. Empty mileage was 18. Another guy was running with me pulling a trailer identical to mine with a day cab semi tractor with a 350 cummins and we were neck-and-neck power and mileage-wise for the whole 1200 mile trip only he could go farther between fuel stops.The Duramax was seven years newer than my Dodge so I'm not exactly comparing apples to apples.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
