Just drove a bit to get a great deal on a Wells Cargo FastTrack 7x14 cargo trailer. Averaged 12+ on the Interstate coming back home running right at 65 mph. Hardly could tell the trailer was behind me! The Tekonsha P3 worked flawlessly with the trailer.

I get between 13 and 14 but I only have a 5x10.

I would expect that. This one also has extra height. I was hoping for anything over 10 mpg. It sticks out on both sides and also on top. Wind will certainly affect it a bunch.

I have an 8.5 x 26 that is 6'6" inside. I got 10-11 @ 70 with my lifted truck.

MPG is not crucial, as I don't tow too often. However, it is nice to have a 7x14 rather than my previous 6x12. Some day I hope to find a VW Beetle for a project. I think it'll fit if I can fashion some ramps. The next step is to install some D-rings and look into Airlifts.

My bad! I knew when I originally posted someone would ask for pix! I wish I would have taken one with the trailer attached to the truck. I need to build a ramp so I can store my utility trailer in the cargo trailer. I think I can get my wheelbarrow in my yard cart and put them on my utility trailer. Then I'll everything consolidated in one location!

Now I just need to hear those magic words! "Can we use the trailer to haul home the new furniture?" Then'll I say, "I guess so. Good thing we have a trailer!"
