Empty it should get about the same to 90% of the MPG of the other two, (though you will pay up to 20% more for fuel depending on where you live). The Diesel will only loose about 10-15% of it's MPG towing that "small" of a trailer while the other two will loose near 50% towing that "large" of a trailer (note both must be kept out of OD with that load).

I'm not a Dodge nor a diesel fan BTW, just stating the facts of Diesel vs Gas.
