It has been my experience, that a longer, 30% heavier trailer, does not tow much harder than the one being towed now. If the frontal area is the same, not much difference. The longer/heavier TT may have larger tires/wheels, that make for an easier tow.

My FW is heavier than the previous one. The front is more aerodynamic, and it pulls about the same, and truck mileage, did not change either.
