Hey guys
just did some water hauling with my 22 powerboost and figured I would share some details. I had a strong headwind for most of the trip and averaged 12.1 mpg. After 3 more trips I was at 12.7mpg.
I was hauling a water trailer with 1000 gallons of water. So all in about a 10,000lb trailer. I am running ridge grappler 295/60/r20. I was very impressed with how well this truck handled the load.

Holy shit, you are lucky that didn't kill you! You get cut off?
Had a freak bearing failed on the trailer. Had just greased it but it was an older trailer. Wheel came off trailer at about 60mph and sent me into a sway. That’s why I am hauling a new 1000 gallon trailer now. A lot more manageable weight.

What’s your mileage like with regular driving? I’m thinking of going with a more aggressive (and heavier) tire but I don’t want my gas mileage to tank too hard.

I’ve been driving it pretty hard but I’m averaging around 17 mpg average right now. Saw another guy on here saying he was at 23mpg with same tires. I was pretty disappointed with how much of a guy I took with these

Was that a single axle trailer? Water trailers always scare the shit out of me going down the highway full.
