want towing opinion
So I bought a 2009 wolf pack 27 dfwp in 2008. It said 5,800 dry, which there is no way it was that light . Even completely empty the thing was hard to pull. I pulled it with my Chevy 6.0 gas, a Ford 6...

Ok, I should have clarified better. Lol yes, the 6.0 gas engine got about 7 mpg at 60 mph, the diesels were about 8 at 70 mpg. Of course there are a lot of variables. I also thought the sticker lied on the camper. I never took it to a scale, but I suspect it was closer to 8,000 dry and 10k loaded. I did have the bearings and brakes checked by a dealer and they were fine.
So you guys don't think there is a huge difference between the 19 and 24 footers?
Frontal area is more your enemy than weight. If the 19' and 24' trailers have a similar frontal area, the extra weight of the 24' will not make a huge difference to your mileage.
What are the GVWRs of the two trailers? I suspect they are both WELL within your D'max truck's ratings.
