I find that i get around 17 towing on the frewaay with a 1k utility trailer( 8' long 5' wide by 3' high) I live with that. I use overdrive when towing such a light load. When I tow my FJ40 I get about 15.5 witch is still better than driving the 40 by 7mpg!!! the cruiser weighs in at 3980lbs with out fuel. I don't use overdrive at all when towing the fj40, I find that I am lugging the motor to much even with the S/C. I stay out of 5th on the down hills as well the help keep it all slowed down.
