Is there anyone out there who has the same rig and vehicle. Its my first Travel Trailer towing in America.
My tow vehicle is a 2008 V8 4.6 litre Ford Sport Track and and I tow a Keystone 21rs Outback Travel Trailer (Dry weight 4550lbs). Living here in Alaska the mountain passes are many, my vehicle seems to tow my travel trailer with no problems at all.
The gas mileage, without the Trailer, (highway mileage at highway speed ) is some 20mpg. However when towing my trailer at speeds of 55-60 mph I am down to 10mpg. I would appreciate any thoughts from other persons with simular vehicles and Trailers.
By the way I am a Brit, now married to an American citizan ,and ,living in Alaska as a permanent resident .
Best Regards all,
Alaskamike
