Here is our new trailer.
There is so much win in this picture! Nice toy hauler - but the truck is awesome. That's about what I'm looking for in a truck to replace my current TV. Is it a long-bed? I'm looking forward to putting an aux tank in the bed to increase my range to 1000+ miles so I can fuel up when I want instead of letting my fuel stops dictate my trip's pace. What kind of mpg and range are you getting while towing?
Yes it is a long bed and I am getting 9.5 to 11 MPG towing but we do a lot towing up to the Sierra.
Very good. Towing over 1000 miles down to Death Valley & back, including 50/89/88 passes & the 9% grade over 190 into Panamint Springs, which had me down to ~25-30mph dragging about 9500lbs of trailer, I hand-calculated an average of 7 MPG for the whole trip. Even the small difference in MPG at these low numbers would make a noticeable difference in cost, but the ~800 lb/ft of torque would make pulling my trailer over the passes a breeze.
What kind of speed can you maintain on the steepest grades you've driven pulling your loaded trailer?
Sorry to hijack the thread a bit, but I appreciate the info.
We had no trouble maintaining speed going up 88 or 89 heading to Zephyr Cove in Lake Tahoe... Cruises easily at 55.
