I pull a 29' tag along that is 33' from end to end. The tongue weight is 900lbs and the GVW is 11,100. I just got back from a 200 mile trip (each way). On the way there I drove 68-70 mph and averaged 7.2 mpg. On the way back, I drove 60-65 mph and averaged 8.9 mpg. The small difference in speed made a pretty decent change in fuel economy. I also got her up to 80mph for a short distance while passing 18 wheelers without any problems. I also use the equalizer hitch and I am satisfied with the truck's performance. I do wish I could transfer a little more weight toward the front tires. The front still feels a little light at times, even with the equalizer. I may need to verify that the hitch is properly adjusted.
