This is reverse-engineered alien technology sort of numbers for many.  |
2WD and a moderate load I believe he would AVERAGE 18-mpg towing a 25' or somewhat longer trailer given non-mountainous terrain and use of cruise control at a travel speed just below 60-mph with a moderate load in the truck. AND was painstaking in all the mechanical details. Far more than 90% are not.
I've seen solo numbers at 30 for the above. I just have not seen anyone do A-B testing with/without trailer, much less an aero all-aluminum one.
It on my list to do. The painstaking parts and the records establishment. Still digging out of the hole from divorce. When I can, I will. A thread here and elsewhere with pics and details. But don't hold your breath till it happens. Have to go back to work now replacing grey polybutylene plumbing with PEX in this trailer.
