How many miles on it? Stock size tires? Which engine? Need this info to better help you.

But basic things such as plugs and wires, new air filter, lean the throttle body, MAF, maybe run a can of seafoam through it

WHY DO I KEEP BUYING DODGES?!?!?
Are we talking 12mpg with the trailer or in general? How much weight on the trailer? A rider mower, a pushmower and gas cans and weedwhackers add up fast...

Well, off the top of my head I would guess the trailer and the weight are causing your poor fuel economy.
