I recently drove a friend's '93, 2WD, 22-R, M-5, cab-high aluminum topper, with nasty roof rack, holding garden trellis, topped-off, from Denton, TX, to Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Bed and tailgate was fully-loaded with metal yard furniture and garden tools.
I tried to hold it at 100-km/hr. No official weight.
The truck has HANKOOK H-rated tires @ 44-psi all-around.
Temps were in the 40s-F.
Wind blew the entire trip. Trees stripped of leaves, and no windmills or flags made it tough to estimate wind direction/ magnitude.
I didn't run any electrical accessories or A/C.
At 322-miles I chickened out, and turned of the highway for fuel.
Tank mileage was 28.2- mpg.
