What tow tune are you running and MPG you see???

[kafleming19]

Looking mostly what others are seeing pulling their 5er and GN.
Towing with ultimate tow from gear head this weekend I was seeing 9.5 with head wind and 10.5ish on the way home with no wind.
Not sure how much I was pulling but I am sure it was over 10k.

Bump.... Anyone? I don't even get to hear about someone getting 18 mpg towing 15k?

I managed 11-12mpg with 10K behind me during my last PCS move, standard 8.5'x20' enclosed trailer of household goods. Big thing for me is staying around 55-60 mph. Though this isn't from a 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer, as requested, these are the results from my truck running the tow file from Eric at IDP.

I notice that my 4.30 gears don't see as much of an mph hit as those drivers running 3.73s, or even the 4.10s when towing more than 8K.

I run Eric's and I have seen as low as 9 with a bulldozer on the G/N and as high as 13 with Sean's itty bitty Dodge loaded up there. I tend to keep my speed a little lower to keep my RPM's in the sweet spot but I am running 4:10's.

I usually get between 8-10 mpg when towing my 12k lb toy hauler and I'm running 33" tires with 3.73's. It's definitely better mileage when I'm running 65, than when I'm running 75. I routinely run Matt's 8k tow tune or the unlimited tune.

I usually see around 10 MPG when towing around 8-10k running Eric's tow tune

I loaded Matt's tow tune before and noticed I liked it better when towing

Then why are you running IDP's tow tune???

[Six0~Stroker]

Cuz I CANlol


No I ran his tunes for a while and towed with them. Even before I signed up to the ORG.

I just recently got Matt's tunes and haven't really towed anything lately

But I will be using his tune in the future
