I have a commission only sales job and needless to say, things are pretty rough now. Gauges are on the list.
7500# isn't much for the truck, but it pulls like twice that due to pushing so much air.

Junkie, I tend to agree with slowmover. Let's sort out your drag factors. When you say 7500# that's the GVWR right? What is your scale weight? More importantly, how fast do you drive when towing?
The single biggest factor is you. You may have some bad habits you don't realize. Powerful trucks happily do whatever you ask. They don't sass. They just guzzle and go. Once you have ScanGauge feedback, I bet you will start seeing improvement just because you're paying attention to what it is you care about optimizing.
One more question. How attached are you to this truck and to this particular trailer? Is there possibilitiy of trading either one for something else?
Cheers
