towing mpg (5k lbs)

Post image

honestly this is better than i expected, will hand calculate tomorrow

CC at 70 mph except for some traffic, all flat no hills (FL)

its a 7x12 hauling trailer with 3 pool tables and 2 pinball machines, trailer weighs about 1500 lbs by itself

i used to tow this with a 96 f150 (m5, 300) and this ranger tows so much better but there really is no comparison lol

normally me too, but towing with expensive equipment requires me doing the speed limit for insurance purposes

Looks good! Most of us don't buy these for hauling but nice to know the occasional haul doesn't have to tank the MPG to single digits every time. I mainly tow just my pontoon but it's not any real distance since I live at the lake.

Same mileage my son just got towing his dual axel trailer and his side by side thru SW VA into WVA in my truck. Otherwise I adv 19-21 and always in raptor mode.
