Pulled boats for many years, now have a Rockwood Minilite 2014s. Pulled by Ford F150 Lariat. Gas mileage went from 16 mpg to 8mpg. Just want to see if this is about the average drop in mpg. Don't see ...
I checked my MPG with and without the trailer (Bullet 272BHS - 6000 lbs) on a recent 110 mile mostly highway trip. Without trailer my Chevy Express 6.0L gasser achieved 19.2 MPG. With the trailer attached on the return trip I got 10.5 MPG. The trip computer on my vehicle is pretty accurate when measured against miles/pump gallons. If I drive around town my van gets 12-13 MPG.
