I pull a 38' Montana with a GVW of 14,300. Set the cruse at 70 and let her roll. Last trip was 350 miles each way and averaged 10.2 mpg.

I only pull a 25.5 ft Prowler that weighs maybe 6500#. My Dad pulls a 32 ft Montana with 2 slide outs with his. I have no idea what it weighs but I know he has to slow down so tht others in their party with much smaller campers can keep up!

I pull a 35ft toyhauler with a '04 2500 short bed. Trailer empty is 11,800 pounds and gross is 16,000 pounds. Pulls fine, but a dully is in the future.
