Just curious......
For those of you pulling a 30' or bigger TT with a 3/4 ton or 1 ton diesel truck.....what kind of fuel mileage are you getting?
Forum Discussion
Well, those of you with big trucks and big trailers probably think that if you went smaller, you'd get better mileage, right?
Nope. I have a Tacoma 4 liter and a tiny 12 foot trailer, and I get around 10 mpg, just like the big guys.
The problem is wind resistance, rather than length or weight. To use an often-quoted analogy, it's like towing a 4x8 piece of plywood perpendicular to the direction of travel.
I have decided that bad MPG is just the price of admission -- no way to avoid it. The good news is that due to the bad mileage, I have to stop every couple of hours for gas. That means a bathroom break!!
