Kind of wondering if 70 miles per hour would be too taxing ?
That's some serious reading -)
Yes- I remember that trailer stress test- I know you also calculate a deduction of the open space under the trailer and not the maximum exterior height alone.
If you have the 4K tow package, I believe the frontal load consideration is 40 sqft. The MAV itself covers about 35 sqft. Your 63 sqft trailer load less the MAV's 35 sqft would render you 28 sqft of of trailer frontal load. That puts you under the 40 sqft load consideration for the trailer.
Leave it in the bathroom and read it on the toilet.
Oh cool didnt know the Mavericks rear end helped with the equation- Thanks !
In the first calculation I used the interior height and it still exceeded 40 SQ FT.
It doesn't. It is a separate number. between the tailgate and front of trailer almost none of the air will be blocked. A cap will help some because the air will be straighter coming over the cab. Without the cap the air comes over the cab, down over the tail gate and straight into the nose of the trailer. See below pic. I added a cap on my 13 F150 that pulled 3,000-3,500 in a small 4X6 enclosed V nose trailer. MPG went from 14.7 to 19.3 at 70-75mph after the change.
