Explain this
I have a '11 GMC Sierra 2500 gas. I traded a '09 KZ Spree 261RKS loaded weighed in at 5500 lbs. If I held my speed at 60 I could keep my mileage at 9mpg. Anything over 60 and I would drop to mid 8's.
New trailer is a Keystone Cougar 31RKS that is 7 foot longer and weighs 2300lbs more than the Spree. I just towed 600 miles through the Smokies on I75 up the Jellico pass and averaged 65 mph-70 mph and lowest mpg was 9.3 and tops was 9.8.
The Cougar has a more aerodynamic front with the enclosed propane bottles. Do you think the front end design can make that much difference that would actually increase mileage on that much bigger and heavier trailer?
