^def not bad. You running a diesel in it? I tend to get 9mpg in mine with a 454 but wedge trailers pull alot of wind. Cant wait to start pulling with a flatbed.

yes it has th 7.3 powerstroke but it is not intercooled still looking for all the parts for a reasonable price but it has a a intake and 4 in exhaust, that made the biggest differnce i went from 10 to 15-18 empty i need to get a chip too but they just dont make a bunch for these trucks mainly for the superdutys

i get 12 with it loaded that way i got 11 going to dropzone last year with two minis but we where halling a** i pulled the blues at 55-60 and didnt really drop below 75 the whole way over. i know it would get better if i slowed down but what fun is that. the trailer is really nice it pulls great but it weighs 6500 by itself so like a regular trailer with a fullsize on it. i hauled two 60s lincolns to salt lake on it and was over 20k and it did great and i got in the 10 mpg range but they are heavy

Yea keeping mine under 75 helps, and oddly enough mine seems to drive waaay better at night, i guess lower temperatures and less wind/traffic. My wedge was heavy too, i never got weighed but i would imagine the heaviest i was would be around 14-15k. Gotta watch out tho, only have 12k tags on the truck.

yeah i have 18k on mine that was the most i could do for idaho without haveing to stop at weigh stations and some one told me there is a length restriction too got to check into that. the funny thing is when we went to dropzone in 07 you cant pump your own gas in oregon they have to do it and they could never get it right the where to busy looking at the trucks i almost left one station with less then a 1/4tank

Oklahoma is kinda bad about just pulling people hauling over to check credintials, but i get lucky since its kinda obvious im not working. A military themed mazda on the trailer kinda yells "Not for hire" haha. I dont think theres a length restriction here in MO, even if there is im not close with only 35' following me. And not pumping your own gas is crazy, when i was in jersey i stopped at 11pm and got out to pump, about knocked a guys head off cause he ran up on me saying get back in the car. Id feel sorry had i had my dually there, i gots 2 tanks with that guys name on them.
