I get 13 MPG with my V6 Jeep GC towing a Flagstaff Micro Lite 21DS at 55 MPH.
Well good for you and thanks for being a road hazard. I hope I am not coming the other way when all the crazies are trying to pass you on a 2 lane road. I feel you should at least have a rig that can tow a trailer at a reasonable speed and unfortunately 55 is not reasonable anymore and going this speed just makes you a road hazard. Even at 65 or 70 MPH I feel like a rock in the ocean with water flowing all around me as the crazy’s fly by. If you can’t run 65 on the interstate then your rig is subpar. Heck some Utah interstates are now posted at 80 and most state hwy’s are at least 65 which means 75 most of the time.
Seeing how damn near all trailer tires are rated for a max speed of 60-65mph, I don't want to be anywhere near you going 75mph, you're just as much a road hazard.
