I know what you mean, i have the V6 in my liberty and barely break 20MPG (combined at least).

I probably get better mileage than the 6 when towing though, as I have enough torque to stay in OD on the flats and mild hills, while the 6 has to tow in 3rd pretty much all the time, meaning 2600 rpm @ 60 mph.

definitely a different V6 than mine, i got 18-19 MPG while towing a fully packed 5'x8' U-Haul from Virginia to Illinois. accelerating with the trailer sucked, but once i was up to speed i cruised no problem, i could make it up decently graded hills and downshifted to 3rd about 3/4 of the way up.
