My towing needs are similar to yours. I tow a ski rig that weighs in at about 4,000lbs (boat, trailer, fuel, gear) 3-4 times a year to a lake about 100 miles from my home in Atlanta. I also generally carry 500-600 lbs of camping gear and fuel in the bed of the RL along with my wife and son in the cab.

The RL handles this task with ease and I'm very happy with the performance. Mileage towing on the interstate with my boat and gear has been in the 11-12 range at 65-70 mph which seems consistent with what others report.....
