Towed 5000 miles

Just returned from towing a Rockwood 33.5' TT with 05 XE KC, little tow, over 5000 miles. Towed like a champ! MPG from 10 at 70 MPH to 13 at 60 MPH. Towed in 4th with tow/haul mode on. Truck cap helped with aerodynamics. Wet weight of trailer was 7200 lb. No hard acceleration...temp gauge never budged. Running Mobil 1 synthetic. Didn't use a drop. Mostly flat up I-95 but some good mountains in PA.

I must have one of the thirstier Titans. We just took a trip from Phx. to San Diego and back pulling a 29' 7K# (loaded), and the best I got was 8.54mpg (mostly doing 62-65mph). I guess I need to get off my butt and order that cap. Hopefully that will help a little. Got pictures?

Just curious what your logic is for saying the truck cap helped with mileage?

[floridatitankid]

The cap allows the air to flow over the trailer instead of hitting the front head-on

Sounds like a great trip.
And yes the Cap does make the truck a little more aerodynamic.

I average 8.6 mpg with my 2005 SE CC 4x4 BT (no shell) when I tow my travel trailer. I just don't tow enough to make the shell worth it.
