Thanks Frank Lee lol with the right transmission I know it's possible. Transmission is the key for the idea to work. Last trip I took the explorer on over 30 miles was 46 miles if I remember right and average pesomistic torque setting mpg and DIC slightly ..5-1 mpg optimistic was 28 mpg. I've done some math and 1000 lbs alone will bump that number up significantly. Cut aerodynamic drag in half and higher should be attainable.
