Yikes...I thought it was 6000 lbs. Good thing it was probably the only time I'll ever tow.

Hell, I'm suprized you got 11mpg with that load and flats! I've got the same rig, 2012 Teryx4 limited and I have towed it with my 11, Eco and my 13, 5.0. (Set up the same way, gears and tires) The windshield of the t rex creates so much drag it's crazy. On two long trips I got 10.5 with the Eco and 10 with the 5.0.

Yea, you need to try it again with some air in the tires. I know WV has a lot more ups and downs then Missouri but I've never had an issue towing that light of a load. I have a 12' V-nose that I haul crap around in. Probably 2500# loads at most. I get around 14 or so but if the wind isn't in my favor it will fall like a rock.

I tow round bales with a Big Tex trailer. Trailer is around 2300# and each bale is 1200-1300# if nice and dry. I'm at about 7100# to 7500#. Not exactly sure what I get but I know the mileage is steady, even in the small rolling hills of Central and Western Missouri. I decided to snap a pic after I got back, wish I had thought of resetting it first. I'm thinking 12 mpg.



After I dropped off the hay I was in Boonville (the wife and her penny slots) when we got the call that my daughters boyfriend had a battle between his leg and a chainsaw so we had to make a trip to Kansas City. This is I-70 going 73 mph for about an hour and a half. At least I remembered to reset it.

And am I the only one wanting to see a pic of the new toy?

Hopefully this works. First time trying to load a pic from mobile.

That's crazy bad mileage for such a small load. What kind of speeds are you towing at? My jeep sits way above the top of my pickup when it sits On the trailer. I've never folded my windshield down so it's up their creating probably more drag since its way up there. Not to mention my jeep is a fat pig compared to utility vehicles.

Be grateful you get that mileage my pos Eco gets 12.5-13.8 empty.
