I towed a 5700# trailer to Portland. I got 11.7 mpg at 70 mph.

Not too bad I guess.

You could buy a half ton and get 10 mpg...... :D

Are you rockin' the 6 speed?

Yep, 6 speed works great while towing.

That Jayco I had weight ~7000 and 10 is what I got with ol' Blue. Probably around the same weight as yours, I imagine, huh Kevin?

They say mine weighs ~4500 dry. I've never personally weighed it though. :dunno:

It's always pretty interesting. They are so far off on those weights. You should do it!

My Jayco was advertised at 4800 dry :rollin:

:lol: Damn!

The only time I tried to weigh it was in Wyoming and the scale wasn't working, of course.

I know I'm about maxed out for towing and payload in my truck when loaded down with the trailer. :uhoh:

It tows better than the '98 Ford conversion van we started out with when we bought the trailer. :lol:
