Stick or auto?
My first thought would be a tired IP
Could be your TV isn't locking up?

I did a decent trip to Tahoe and back last week and averaged 19 mpg.
I average 13 mpg commuting to work and back.Stock TV driving all city streets and stop lights.

Your truck should pull grades with no issue.
My truck purrs over grades without any lag.

Good luck with your issue.
You should be very happy with the truck once you take care of the problem
