Keep in mind that that is a 14k trailer. It's tare is 3k.

I can keep 11-12 mpg at 55-60 mph. It drops to 9-10 mph around 65 mph


10-4.... I'm only getting 13-13.5 on 14ft aluminum trailer with a 700 and a rubicon @ 65-70mph. Not to eco.

Remember that this engine makes more low end torque than ANY other 1/2 ton pick up on the market. It will consume fuel to be the best in that category. However, when unloaded its fuel economy is on par with the other manufacturers multi-displacement engines and 8 speed trannys.

Now that the F-150 is aluminum and will be receiving a 10 speed in about a year, it will only get better.

Thanks, i normally don't haul that heavy but when I do I us airbags now and it makes me feel a little better lol. I should have bought dually but 90% of the time I'm driving empty and it's much easier to get around than a dually.

Three years ago we sold our living quarter horse trailer and our cyclone toy hauler. We just had our second child and realized the units weren't going to work for 4 of us. We decided to go with a diesel pusher that could do double duty. The wife can tow the horse trailer to her shows (actually I can because she says she will never driver the motorhome). I can take the pioneer, my 1000 renegade and my CRF 450R in the enclosed trailer when we go riding. It works really well for us, but we have to be careful where we are going. It has bunks for the kids and lots of room. No toyhauler was going to be able to fit all of our units. With a 22 foot enclosed, I can bring it all.

Our tow vehicle is which ever is headed out first my wife or I. One weights in at 40,000 empty and can pull 30,000 12mpg,air brakes and all the safety features of a semi because that's what it is-it's no converted pickup truck,22.5 tires,Allison designed for heavy application not a pickup,brakes that cars don't understand, I cruise in this, most people don't stay up especially with a trailer,up to 7dirtbikes and a quad have been loaded inside so everything but the tall sxs can go directly inside with the 1000 in tow will still get 12mpg,/ the other only weighs 9,000 and can only pull (legally) 18,000 20mpg towing. What's common between them they have well over 300,000 on them and are as dependable as anything new. I hand built both bumper-bumper rebuilt everything but the motor a 12v Cummins (however I did change oil once in both I think):) no computer, electronics, glow plugs...what the hell are those! No catalytic converter-hell they pass emissions and neither have mufflers! You don't have to add def or anything, just fuel.Nothing expensive to fail. Cost of a 350 fm to rebuild (at millions of miles) ugly but dependable and hard working like me. How many trucks have you seen over 300k that are fully trustworthy? 6-in a row makes them go.
