14.2 mpg?!

I'll take it




First time towing something of this size (4000lbs maybe?) and it was actually incredibly smooth and easy. I was actually quite impressed all things considered! It was also kind of funny to be able to tow so easily and get up to speed (safely...) in a manner people didn't expect from a towing combination!

Yeah I was VERY surprised to say the least. The drive was from Raleigh, NC area to Charleston, SC so it was really flat but still. I normally get 17.9 on the highway with that run without the trailer but that is running 80+. I'm sure I can get at least 19 if not better if I ran a more conservative 70-75.
