RoadKill Posted March 2, 2008 Share #1 Posted March 2, 2008 Thought I would let you know I got my trailer home yesterday 6x12 Haulmark. My 04 Olds Bravada pulled it like a dream. Plenty of power and I got 15 MPG while towing the 100 miles home. I bet I don't get stuck in an IL winter next year! Kbran, you better get ready next winter. I might be heading your way.

Squidley Posted March 2, 2008 Share #2 Posted March 2, 2008 Cool Beans! The MPG isn't too awful bad considering your pulling a sign behind a smaller truck. I'm sure your going to love the new toy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted March 2, 2008 Share #3 Posted March 2, 2008 15mpg is pretty good. When I pull my 6x12 Wells Cargo with my F250 Diesel, milage goes to hell in a hand basket. I usually get 15-16 on the highway and it'll drop into the 11-12 range. It's a tandem and loaded to the max, but I think it's still wind resistence that does the most damage.

RoadKill Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted March 2, 2008 but I think it's still wind resistence that does the most damage. I agree. I am sure it will be worse at times. It was pretty much no wind yesterday. I've got a little clean up to do on it. But I'm very happy. Really surprised me that this Bravada has a 5500 lb towing capacity. 265hp, and 265 ft lbs tourqe. It will be interesting to see how it feels when the bike is in there. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
