Here's mine. 2018 ED pulling jayco 29qb approx 35'. Blue ox WD and airbags. This was right before our trip from long island to Maine. No issues. My buddies f150, another story. Love this truck. Lately I have had cummins envy but for the at most once a month tow, this is perfect. Btw 14.5 mpg @ 70-75 with TT. With just quad in back to PA 25-26mpg. Just passengers 29-30mpg.

Mush, that a 400ex?

My trailer brakes must be dragging, can't best 11mpg at 65mph pulling my toy hauler.

2007 trx450r. My tt is 6500 dry probably close to 7500 with all my wife and kids stuff. Right around 14.5 mpg everytime I towed it, no exaggerating.

I believe you, I see that number often with similar RV's. I think mine just pulls a LOT more wind as it's awfully tall. It's a K-Z 280THR, might be a pic elsewhere in this thread.

I've got the longer bed and can barely close the tailgate on my 2008 trx700xx, with slightly bigger tires than stock. Have a 400ex and a Suzuki z250 for the kids.

Camping trip at lake mineral wells again. Friday and Saturday were cool and mild, then Sunday morning the snow started coming down.

Mush if that is a two way average you are better than me. I would average 14.0 at only 65 mph let alone 70-75. Normal acceleration etc. My water temp dragging that at 75 would keep my fan running for sure.

Who’s tunes do you use and do you have a turbo brake from the tune and or a factory TBC? BTW Truck & trailer both look level.

3.55, non-GDE tuned with 76in bed, stock tires, 2inch level and 1000 Air lift bags pumped to 35lbs.
Drove PDX to coos bay and back 11.2mpg hand calculated doing 65-70 on I5 and 50-60 once off I5.
200 miles each way with Yamaha wolverine, 2 dirtbikes, fuel, camping gear etc in the trailer and food, clothing and 4 up in the truck.
The cargo trailer is 16x8 and i'm guessing 6000-6500 loaded with all the above, it's like towing a parachute though.

Or when towing boat and trailer (4700lbs) I tend to get 16-17mpg mixed driving.
(Old photo, truck was only a few days old and this was the first time pulling anything)

@watson.robin I have a very similar enclosed trailer and it's like pulling a parachute. You wouldn't think it would be that bad but it is.

I don’t know what happened to all my trailer pics.... but here’s a whole pallet of about 3k worth of tile in the bed of my truck with 5psi in the air bags that I didn’t know about at the time....

 

[watson.robin]

I’d say you drove home nice and easy with that in there!

This is what I towed before I bought a 7x14 cargo trailer

Got it dialed in, pulls straight, stops short, feels good pulling.
Lots of great advice here. Just got back from a long week end at the (very wet) ocean.
