Frankly I doubt it. My V8 Tundra is about the same size engine and
it gets about 9 mpg pulling a 6,500 pound boat/trailer combo.

I usually get about 11-12 mpg pulling a 4500 lb. boat with a 5.3L and
4.10 rear end. Lots of hills... We could probably graph gross weight
vs mpg with various vehicles and get a fairly continuous curve.
