I need to find a way to get better mileage from my Expedition when pulling my travel trailer.
This is the correct answer. My travel trailer is 7,000 lbs wet and I've seen anything from 7 mpg to 10.5 mpg depending primarily on speed, wind direction, and road grade. The best method for improving mpg with a travel trailer is to reduce speed.aerodynamics can’t be cheated. Big box is like dragging a parachute.
Thanks for the info. Has anyone thought of adding a chip to boost MPG
Curious what the KO2’***** was. Use to run them on my old Land Cruiser which got 11mpg regardless of anything done to improve mileage . Running BFG trail Terrain on the Expedition and really liking them. Best average hit from stock tires might be just shy of 1mpg at highway speeds. Heavy tow pack 20-23mpg long trip averages nakid no trailer is pretty standard. Guessing the KO’s are a bigger hit?Usually the best gas saving device is your right foot! I've been pulling at 60-62 mph max and get 9 to 9.5 mpg. In a 55 mph zone I'll get almost 10 mpg. I run 65 psi in my BFG KO2's on the tow vehicle and 75-80 psi on the trailer tires (Goodyear Endurance) I mostly tow short distances in flat as a pancake Louisiana and Mississippi. Keep the turbo boost down helps a great deal also.
