The 350 is not as bad as you would think. It has 5.38 gears and puts the 350 in its sweet spot for torque when running down the road. It does slow down on really big hills but what truck doesn't when pulling 11K pounds. We were just on a 1200 mile trip for vacation and turn 9 mpg towing and around 13 with out the camper. A diesel would be better but I would have spent another 10k to do a diesel and big blocks just suck too much gas.
