My question is how much of a difference will there be going from towing a 6,200 pound 31.5 foot trailer to a 4,700 pound 25 foot trailer? Will towing 1,500 less weight make a difference in MPG or going up grades?

Thanks,

An EcoDiesel is more car than TV and as a TV...best to keep it small

Both aero-factor and inclines will reduce performance, MPG and longevity

Keep away from over sized tires...that will effectively reduce your diff ratio
towards a MPG ratio than a towing ratio

DO NOT suspension lift it, as that will reduce the power delivered to pavement.
Body lift will not have the higher U-Joint angles, so the power will remain the
same, but the air allowed underneath the TV will rob power...therefore MPG and performance

Agree...think you bought too small a TV for those trailers you are considering
and the terrain you suggest with 'grades'
