Well i finally got to tow a good amount of weight than i ever do to Vegas from LA. Towed a steel enclosed car trailer that weighed in at about 10500 with the car. Now being steel wasn't the big problem but being that its got 8 ft ceiling inside was. Almost twice as high as the truck. Anyway the way there we averaged about 60-65 mph and about 50-55 on the steep grades. Kept the egts below 1100 going up the steep grades. Finally when we got to vegas had to fill up so hand calculated the mpg and it was about 9-10. Now on the way back topped off and weighed everything and came in at 16700. We had a crap load of rear axle weight over 5000 lbs and over 3000 in front. To much tongue weight. The way back hand calc mpg was 13.5 doing an evg of 55 and 45 going up the steep grades. I loved that if i wanted to speed up while going up the grades it can do it no problem.Is there any secret to towing alot of weight or even any weight and improve mpg. What i normally tow is a 1400 # trailer and 2600# car and its not an import.
