Fuel Mileage when hauling enclosed trailer

[firecatab]

What does eveyone get for mileage when hauling your enclosed trailer? I have been getting around 10 mpg with a 6 litre gas and was looking to install a cold air intake to help out. Anyone done this?

Are you asking for just Gas engines ? What size enclosed you pulling ?

Thats Actually Pretty Good Gas Mileage For A 6.0l CHEV Pulling A Trailer. Cold Air Kit Will Help A Little, And A Chip Would Probably Help A Little Too......... We've Put Lots In And Both Items Really Doo Help With Power And Most Claim Gas Mileage Increases Too.

We did a trip a few years ago and I had my Duramax with a deck and a 2 place trailer. The other rig was a Duramax with a 4 place enclosed trailer.
We ran very colse to the speed limit to McBride and back and both rigs got 13 mpg.

Went from Red Deer to Jasper on fuems with a 07 duramax 125kmh pulling a 2 place inline "5000 lbs" ish. The gas station at sask river Xing was closed when we went through.lucky to make it. 260 miles, I will have to look up to see how big the tank is.

My Little Dodge Got 13.9mpg Average Dooing About 130kph Pulling The 4 Place Loaded(6100 Lbs Trailer Weighed On Scale). Way Better Gas Mileage At About 100 T0 110kph, But I Can't Drive 55!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Must have had Ron's FORD pulling you...

The Concorde... Loaded Heavy & pulling a 4/enclosed heavy also. Down South and back awhile ago.... getting around 10 +/- MPG. (as per electronic meter). This was also done with a lead foot..... SD not the best mileage out there.

Keep In Mind, With The Diesels, The Fuel Is Waxier, Thicker, And You Will Obviously Get Less Gas Mileage Anyway, Than In The Summer.

I run an 05 F350 with a Banks Cold Air kit, Banks Exhaust, and a Predator programmer. I average 15 mpg pulling a 24' enclosed. 21 mpg empty. 14 pulling 32' holiday fifth wheel.

Thanks everyone, I did not think that 10mpg was that bad as I only get around 15 empty anyways.

Pulling the 30 ft travel trailer in the summer is about the same.

Thanks

I think it's about 11 or 12 mpg pulling 4 place enclosed, would like to put air kitt and other goodies in time.

I got an 07 D-max. We just went to Mcbride and had somewhat of a head wind. I had a two place deck on with two sleds and got 16-17 mpg. When I`m towing my three place inclosed I get a little better mileage.
