....... Probably gets similar fuel mileage towing as well. ..... .
My '99 K1500 6.5 with 3.42 gears (14 bolt SF) got 16 mpg towing my 2200 lb Rally car & a U-Haul trailer when I bought the truck in KY. All interstate miles, though.

Just cruising about 90 mph (Hey, we roll in East Tn) .... < 3psi boost, 700 degrees EGT & gettin' 14+ mpg.

Now, don't get me wrong, I have gotten 10 mpg with more load & lots of speed in the hills..... there's lots of hills in East Tn. The 3.42 gears did not like hills.
I passed a trooper on I-40 in west TN on I-40 with the cruise set at 98 mph heading home from Ohio a few years ago. Similar MPG from my small cam/headers/tuned 5.7 and 3.73 geared 350 Express van.
I was in western TN going into Memphis. I think he must have been taking a nap in the center of the road or looking for someone running triple digits. Luckily he never even lit up his lights.That couldn't have gone well. OH is the ticket Nazi state.
Would add a better lift pump and upgraded lift pump wiring to that list.Clean the cooling stack, do a flowmaster crossover pipe, diamondeye exhaust, boost, pyro and fuel pressure gauges, remote mount the pmd on a heat sink, duramax fan, high flow water pump, get real oil cooler lines, fluidamper balancer, Leroy diesel solid crank pulley, ditch the turbo for hx35 or hx40 and get the maximum towing distance for AAA. Pray every time that you start the truck, carry a charged cell phone and keep good walking shoes in the truck at all times. I'm sure that I'm forgetting stuff but that should be able to get you around a city block without too much worrying.
