Exclamation Best Truck/MPG for Towing

Looking for truck with best gas mileage while towing 1 car trailer. Looking to stick with the 1500 Size. I currently have a 2005 ford f150 5.4l and get around 10mpg highway driving between 55-65 light footed. Pretty bad gas mileage since my brothers 2014 Ram 1500 gets 18mpg towing 1 car trailer. I know its a truck and its not gonna get the best mpg but i still want something decent. Plus I've own two ford already. Not the best mpg and the rough ride. Leaning toward getting a dodge or chevy. Wanna stick between years 2007-2011. Please no truck wars about which brand is best. All of them have positives and negatives. I just want the best truck for me, BTW Posting on all Forums. Chevy, Dodge, an Ford. Thanks in advance for advice.

Is a 1500 mean enough for the weight you wanna haul?? If it is, I am thinkin' 15mpg with a load is actually pretty good.....

Is that supposed to be a link? If so, it doesn't work.
