A 94 accord on a dual axle car trailer. No idea how much it all weighed, but no air bags or wdh. That's the owner of the accord on the trailer.

Our 2015 Ram 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 with EcoDiesel V-6 engine tows a 7500 lb, 27-foot travel trailer quite nicely... Even in the mountains. We did a trip from Spokane, WA to S. Dakota and Mt Rushmore last summer. 60-65 MPH all the way on I-90 and excellent fuel mileage.

I don't think you have lots of these ones in the States? Here in Europe they are quite "normal" 10" wheels. 195/55-10" rubber and total weight of the trailer with max load is 3 metric tons (biggest ones is 3.5ton because that´s the limit for our normal drivers license). load weight capacity is 2.450kg or 2.45 Metric tons. This one also has rigid Aluminium floor. Just fixed the lights on it so all lights and wires where replaced

Cannot recall if I replied here or not.

20 x 8.5 (5 1/2' Deep V-nose) - 10k rated enclosed trailer with front and rear ramp doors. Was probably around 7-8k lbs in these pictures.

Just towed my 29ft travel trailer across Canada from Eastern Ontario to Vancouver Island with my 2017 1500 Sport. Trailer dry weight is 4900lbs and maxes out at 6900lbs, but it was probably closer to 6000 for the trip. Used WDH and sway control the entire time.

Pulled fairly well through the Rockies, and averaged 23 L/100km (10.2 mpg) for the trip there and back.

This was mostly on 87 fuel.. I started the trip with 89 and 91 and noticed no difference in power or fuel economy when one station had no higher octane fuel, so for the last 3/4 of the trip I only used 87.

6x10 7 ton tandem axle dump trailer full of asphalt; could've sworn I heard the suspension bottom out.

P.S I didn't get a picture of the trailer when it was full and hooked to my truck :banghead:175671056_107967504759592_4244014806440043036_n.jpg

Just my boat so far, about 1800lbs total weight by my estimate. The truck barely felt it, got about 18mpg average from Manitowoc WI to somewhere in the up and back. It'll end up towing my car at some point though, I'm sure!
