Mileage change with smaller lighter trailer
My Excursion V-10 with 4.30's gets 7.8 mpg at 58 mph (OD locked out, cruise on)towing my Jayco Eagle 33' TT with super slide weighing about 8,500 pounds as towed.
I'm looking at trading for a 2010 Keystone Passport, 18 feet long with a sloping front nose and an as towed weight of approximately 4,300 pounds.
I know it will be a lot easier to tow, but I'm wondering if the mileage at 60 or so will be much better. I think I will probably be able to tow it in OD since it is so much lighter. The sloping front nose may help too.
