Just one of many trailers I pull.

What's the weight of your tractor and trailer cap?

Sorry. I don't know.

That old Ford 2000 is a beast. I have that scooter plow, the 20 disc harrow and sometimes a 6 ft. brush hog on the trailer at the same time. No issue hauling. Most of my hauls with this equipment are less than 10 miles to my hunting property from my campground where I keep it and stay. Once I did tow to a local town about 40 miles to get a broken weld fixed. Never knew it was there and the brakes don't work on the trailer.

My toy-hauler trailer, loaded with a couple motorcycles, gets to and over 7K lbs. No issue and I tow that thousands of miles and often.

I wish you lived in my state capt. I would really like you to take my truck out for the weekend with your trailer or boat and compare. I've got a while different beast.

Well that is a good looking beast you have there. My tractor weighs in around 7k and the trailer around 3k. No problems hauling with my truck either. I just got the integrated trailer brakes installed at the dealership today so I'm excited to try it out next time I hook up...

View attachment 438 Just under 6,500 lb., mileage towing: 11.5

This is close to my trailer. Have you tow in the mountains with it? If so, does it suffer going up steep grades?

The trailer is 4,300 lbs dry weight around 5,000 lbs with water use the tow/haul and works good,as well if bad head wind
or cross wind manual shift to 6-7 gear, and getting 13-15 mpg.

Thanks- I think this may be my 1/2 ton ticket. A retirement gift to myself.

No mountains yet, but definitely some long, steady upgrades. Used tow/haul of course, and was unpleasantly surprised my mileage went down so low. I expected 13-14, not under 12. It didn't feel like it was really suffering, just downshifting a lot. I can only imagine what it would have been like if I had gone with the 8,000 lb unit my wife was lobbying for.

My Keystone Bullet weighs 5050 dry. We take very little with us but still my current truck struggles up the North Carolina mountains. I would kill to get close to 12 MPG. I got 7.5 in Florida. Thanks all for your experiences.
