I have to say you guys have some great rigs! I'm confident now more than ever I made the right choice in this truck. We're looking at a few Rockwood Hybrids which are smaller and lighter than some of these trailers you guys got. Good stuff!

Great choice if your looking at the Rockwood Roo hybrid! I had the sister trailer which was a Shamrock 21ss. I towed it with my old 2007 F150 5.4L and it towed great. Your truck will tow any hybrid without breaking a sweat! Once i got the new truck we bought the bigger trailer.
Good luck,
Kevin

Headed north earlier today. Overnighting in Fredericksburg VA. It's a 2010 Keystone Hornet 30RKDS , 2011 Maxtow Ecoboost with 3.73. Averages 11mpg today, but going north it's all uphill!

Got a new tow rig so I thought I'd post it with the trailer. Heading out on a job NW of Amarillo for a month or so. Was getting 7 mpg towing and 13 not with the ecoboost. I get 13-14 towing with the powerstroke and 19-21 without towing.

You got it. I stored it there for the winter. Recently found out there are much cheaper options, though. It's sitting in my driveway now. We were booked to be camping this weekend but the park called us to cancel as they were flooded. Actually, we would've been in your backyard at the old Shalamar camp ground.

On a side note, this tt is 2900 pds. My truck has no idea it is back there lol.

Around 70 mph. It's pretty flat where I am too though
