Looking for Light Trailer Recommendations
Sold our diesel pusher last May, but doggone it, we're now realizing how much we miss getting out. But in order to keep life simpler and less expensive, we are looking at TTs. I have a 2014 Silverado...

We just bought our second Passport to pull with our 2004 GMC Sierra 5.3 with 3.73 rear end. Pulled the 245rb at 60mph with no sweat. (btw most travel trailers have ST tires that are speed rated at 60mph max.) We pulled it over 2000 miles and averaged 12.7 mpg last summer and lived in it a total of 9 weeks. Had a great time. We have been very satisfied with the quality of build and the overall appearance of the trailer. When we upgraded we went to a Passport 31re based on the great experience with our first Passport. The new one is 1500 lbs heavier than the other and the truck obviously works harder pulling it but smooths out at about 57mph and feels good. Pulled it to our home near Amarillo from Georgetown and averaged 10.2 mpg but that was climbing over 3000ft in elevation and having a 25mph headwind all the way. Other than that we have not pulled the 31re and expect better mpg and improved speed in better conditions. We have an EAZ equalizer hitch with lift bars and dual sway controls due to the wind in our part of the state. If you have never had a tt the hitch is extremely important for safety and control. Also be mindful of a good brake controller.
