Right, thats not why I wanted 2 doors. My car is thick lol, and it's pretty tough to strap it down the way I like to, with over the tire straps. I ain't getting any younger and I wanted to have full access to strap it down to make it easier on this aging guy.

When I towed my last trailer with my car loaded from MA to SC for Mustang Week, I got 8 MPG with an F150.

When I borrowed mu buddy's F350 Diesel and went loaded to PA for Carlisle, I got 8 MPG

Driving this trailer home empty I got 13 MPG with my Raptor.

I expect to get the same 8 MPG when the car is loaded.

Bro, ain't no way, i got 14.9 towing 10,000lbs between the 28ft atc deluxe, my 500, and all tools/supporting stuff. I swapped to a 55gallon titan tank

Results are always dependent on terrain and driving habits. I’m telling you I had the same MPG towing with my Ecoboost F150 as I did in my buddy’s PowerStroke F350. I let it eat and live in a very mountainous region. Hills eat gas, is what it is.

Crazy….. whats funny is the difference in tow mileage from 70 to 75. It was like 3mpg less

Yup, and I live in the 80-85 range, hence the 8MPG

 

[Tonymustang302]

Haha well thats huge

Well, she fits! I am glad I sized down to a 20' trailer. Towing with an F150, this is the best size to weight ratio trailer me thinks.

I wasn't going to post these, but my wife insisted. I have been out of work for a couple months, and per usual, I don't shave. As firefighters, we aren't allowed to have facial hair, unless it's a mustache. This is because we need to be sure the face seal on our masks is optimal, for obvious reasons. Well, I have never grown a beard, so I figured, now's the time.

My wife made me take this photo to prove to me how much she thinks I have come to look like my late father. I think she's right......again.

HS, Jaime! You really DO look like brothers! WOW! But you gotta love DNA, right? ;=)

While looking at the two images, I got to wondering what you might look like with some hairs on top. <grin> Went looking for a comparable "head shot" and found one of G. Clooney. His hair and skin tones were pretty close to yours so I extracted it and gave it to you. <smile>

 

[Jmeo]

@kilobravo if only you could make that real, haha!

I wish I could grant that wish, Jaime, but in any event, I noticed after finishing the image that you DO have a George Clooney resemblance. <grin>

Love the new trailer design with the gullwing access. That size and color looks great with the raptor.

 

[Epiphany]

Wow Jaime, you DO look just like your dad. Uncanny.

Thanks, me too, this is going to be a game changer for me. I also agree on the size and color. Home run!

Yeah, I’m sill freaked out every time I see my reflection. Guess there’s no denying who my dad really was, haha.
