I'm a chevy guy by nature and that big of coach I'd start looking at Turbo Diesel tow rig like a F250 with a 7.4 liter Power stroke, Duramax chevy or a Dodge with a Cummings. I would also look for a stick. That sort of weight is rough on a auto transmission.
Towing on the flat most of those will get 14mpg. Hills and mountains you would be around 11-12. Empty you would be getting 20.
Like I said, I'm a Chevy guy. If I had the option of any tow rig this side of $50k I'd be looking at a F250 7.4 Powerstroke, Crew cab short bed ford with a stick shift. I have several friends with them. Most of them tow heavy loads and by heavy I mean double car trailers with two heavy 4x4's and cross counter from Atlanta to Moab. We are talking about 14,000 lb.
