[QUOTE="Smit-Dog, post: 542755, member: 25436"] I have a 6x12 v-nose that is fairly tall (6' interior height). Curb weight is 1,500lbs, and I haul approximately 500-600lbs worth of bikes, gear, etc. My Chevy Venture mini van has a V-6, and normally gets around 20-22 MPG highway. Pulling the trailer at 70-75MPH, the engine struggles and is frequently downshifting. I am pulling the trailer at the van's maximum rated capacity. Doing this, I get around 7-9 MPG. I plan on getting some type of SUV that's more suited to pulling a trailer. It pulls fine at around 60-65MPH, but the engine really struggles and the gas mileage really drops if you try to stay around 70MPH. [/QUOTE]
