Damn my BRAPTOR truly pulls like nothing with 4K behind her and just handles incredibly well. But dang sheā€™s a real gas HOG to bad not a bigger fuel tank. And yeh I was driving her but experimented at lower speeds and highway driving you May get 7 MPG going u der posted speeds keeping her around 60. Hereā€™s my videošŸ˜

I have the same trailer for my kids kart racing. Will be towing to the local track (under 100 miles).
What hitch did you use?

So I towed a 6 x 12 UHaul trailer at highway speeds 270 miles. It was full, but probably less than 4000lbs. 11 mpg in tow mode. I did experiment between tow and normal because I didnā€™t feel I needed the more aggressive gearing once on the highway at least where it was less hilly.

UPDATE: Pulled the boat for the first time, and got around 8.5mpg in Tow/Haul on back roads. I'll need to do some highway testing as well. Sure pulled nicely though right at the 4500lb limit.

(I may consider a load balancing hitch though, but not liking the thought of the noise.)
