Hauled a 21' UPS Sprinter Van/Phoinex to Showlow
Just thought I would share some numbers with you guys. Last week I hauled this load with my 01' Quad Cab 4x4 short bed. It is equipped with a 6-spd, Rv275's, Edge Ez and BD brake. The trailer is a 20' 12,000lbs Gvw equipment/car hauler bumper pull. Empty weight of truck and trailer is 10,000 lbs, van about 6,000lbs for a total of 16,000lbs, a nice medium sized load.
The weather was cool and windy, 55* average. I stopped in Globe for breakfast and I checked temps with a remote temp sensor. Trans and rear diff. were both 140*, left trailer tires 88*, right tires 102* all four hubs 70*.
On all the 6 percent hills (lots of them) it would pull 65 mph with the cruise set, 30-32 lbs boost, 900* post turbo, 190-200 water temp. On one long grade with a short stretch of 7 percent it dropped to 58 mph. The truck has 3.55's and 265x70RX17's, 1900 rpm=65 mph. On the more crooked hills I run in 5th 50-55, out of Salt River Canyon I used 4th, lotsa 30 mph curves.
On the down hill, the E-brake held with no use of the foot brake. I stayed in 6th on the straight hills and 5th on the curvy ones, 4th in the canyon.
Fuel was kinda mixed up, 60 miles of just truck and trailer and 185 miles loaded, average was 12.7 Had a fun trip plus the pay was lucrative
