Best towing vehicles for best MPGs

I just got back from a little over 900 miles round trip. Lot's of up and down with about 100 miles of non-towing mixed in.

I got 9.5 towing the truck and trailer in my sig. The trailer was loaded with a 4 seat RZR, 160 gallons of water, full fuel station (40 gallon), 4 people in the tow vehicle, and full off food/clothes/electronics/firewood for 8 days of camping. We were right at 15k in the trailer plus around 9k for the truck. So ~24k total.

I set the cruise control on 65 and just sat back. It was very windy on the way out as well. I hoped for better, but the truck is brand new. Maybe once it gets broken in it will improve slightly.

This setup ^^ over $100k in recreational camping. A budget for BLM, desert, and national parks out west.


I spent $25k for state park camping in PA NJ and New England. No razers or the like aloud for that demographic

Oh great, thanks. I tried not to add it all up but now that's out the window....;)

We initially bought a nice smaller used toyhauler. We used that for a little over a year to see if it was something that was going to stick. It did, so we went out and got exactly what we wanted. We bought the trailer on 11/10/15, it was in the shop for 2.5 weeks with an issue, and I've already used it for 14 nights. We'll be in it for two more this coming weekend. We've been using it exceptionally heavy so far, but I've used it 25% of the time I've owned it to this point.

I try not to look at it from a strict dollars and cents perspective, because it doesn't make sense, but as a family activity it's a great investment.
