Hey,

im looking at a enclosed trailer, and i know the F150 is 6ft wide. I am wondering what the difference in gas and drag would be like if i jumped up to a 7ft wide. Im looking at either a 6x14 or a 7x14, both ramp, single axle, wedge nose.

im enjoying my 21mpg that i got with just the truck full of gear, no trailer, so i would like some insight as to what im looking at for 7ft wide.

My truck is a 2011 5L XTR crew.

Thanks!

'13 Eco , 3.55 axles and with a 7x14 tandem axle enclosed trailer that is +6" tall with 2 full size Harleys , I get 12-14mpg. That's at 65mph

I have a 12 eco with 3.73 and a 7 x 14 Tandem as well and with 2 sport bikes and gear for the track I get 14.8.

I need to pick up some tow mirrors so I can see behind the thing, if you need the space I would go 7 but if you don't I'd do 6 just so the truck and trailer are same/similar width.

Went with a 6x12, and I average about 13MPG when it's loaded. Thanks for the help, with the stock mirrors I am glad to have 6' wide.

Thanks for updating your thread. Helps those of us considering a trailer build or acquisition.
