Default Road Trip Today

Gonna see how my new Hemi pulls in a wind today. Looks like I'm gonna have a strong headwind today going across Montana pulling a 16 foot snowmobile trailer loaded with my Polaris Ranger and my Honda ATV. I'll post some pics and let you know how she did tomorrow hopefully.

Pulling the trailer yesterday with it in tow/haul mode, I averaged 9 mpg driving 70 mph. There was about a 10-15 mph wind blowing. It pulled very well, just wishing I had kept my Cummins for a couple more months.

You should be fine. I pulled a powersports trailer with 2 800lb Polaris Sportsman's on it, plus one in the bed of my truck. I drove about 500 miles round trip, and averaged 12MPG in tow haul mode at 65mph. I could barely tell the trailer was there. It handled the trip amazingly... I was very happy with it.
