What are you guys towing?

[Leftcoast]

I plan on taking it to the scale next week...

There should be a sticker on the unit. IIRC it’s drivers side near the front.

A 1961 Shasta, I refurbished 8 years ago.

Lots of nice looking rig combos out there!

What kind of MPG is everyone averaging? We got 10-11 mpg and travelled 600+ miles over 2 large passes, and the only issue is the size of the gas tank.

We have an IBEX 19MBH Dry weight is 4261, (per manufacture sticker). Length is 24ft bumper to hitch. We have a Blue Ox Sway Pro WDH w/750lbs bars. We had an RV repair shop install some cameras and they had a tongue weigh of 580lbs with some gear (since then I added a few things to the front compartment). We took it out for our first trip and it towed very well after a few stops for fine tuning for the WDH. Over the 2 large passes we had no issues 50-55mph. Flat lands we had about 20-30mph winds and I did feel some sway (not bad at all). Over all we average 60mph and when semis passed us there was no issues and felt less push/sway then when on flat lands.

CAT scale #s
Steer Axle 2620 (Max 3130)
Drive Axle 3340 (Max 3370)
Trailer Axel 4040 (Max 7000)
Total 10000 (Max 12500)

I’m very pleased with the set up, just wish we could have a larger gas tank.

I just bought this used trailer, kind of small but it’ll work for me. What surprised me is the Ranger told me the left turn signal was busted when I plugged it in.

Jayco 212QBW Rocky Mountain Edition. Picked it up last week, trying to get a few local camping trips under my belt before I head off on a 3K mile plus trip this summer. I have the ProPride 3P800 Hitch. Dry weight is about 4,400 lbs, overall length is 25'8".

What kind of Mpg do you get? I get 10-11 with a 4500lbs TT @ 24ft.

Picked up a 2021 Trail Runner 261BHS last weekend with a weight distribution hitch. It’s 30 feet 9 inches and 6000 dry. Haven’t pulled it but about 100 miles so far but no issues with the weight. The trailer brake gets installed by Ford tomorrow, I hope. It was supposed to be done today as I dropped it off at 9 and turned into a giant shit show at the dealer in Columbus Georgia. That’s a whole different story lol.

Getn the party started.

1st loaded tow, 65 miles to Georgia SP.

Just a few days, so conservative load. (Ha, meet my wife)

Tongue looks good based on my estimate of load....yea, first trip by a CAT we'll stop. Wiggle room with tongue as spare is under aframe and could remove 1 propane cylinder. Added 10 lbs air (50psi) each tire to truck since empty shakedown. Think it will firm up the

rear...but i got ride rite bags ordered anyway.

With about #6000 on I get 10-12mpg (29'' Travel Trailer).

I noticed you truck maximum axle weights. They are different than mine.
I have 3130 max for the front and 3370 for the rear from the door sticker. I have crew cab FX4 too. Anyway, nice setup.

Ours is a 2020 E-Pro 19FD. It was about 3100 lbs dry and we are about 38 feet overall.
Very happy with our setup.

What brand is on the top of your truck? Model number? We want one like that for our Orange.

You are correct, good catch. I just went out side and checked my door sticker, 3130 front & 3370 rear, super close to my Max.
Thanks!

Love your orange truck sticker of mountains and forests. Awesome!

Fuel mileage is the square of the sail you are towing, much more than weight. If you like poor mileage, just drive faster!! Towing a very light trailer and going fast, we could get it ours down to 10.

We are going to stay well below this trucks max towing capacity. Lots more fun doing that.
