16 MPG average at 62-63 MPH average.
Closer to 20 MPG at 55 MPH.

45 MPH on 6% hills.
40 MPH on 7% hills.
Can sustain that without HV battery helping.

Can usually pass semi's (slowly) on any hill.
I'd guess I had a 5 MPH advantage over most big trucks.

Is that in tow mode?

As an owner of an Aliner Classic camper, definitely check out their range. Great campers and we absolutely love ours. Forest River versions of A-Frames tend to be a lot heavier than Aliners (IIRC). I've towed our Classic with a 2.5i Outback for over 30k miles. Pulls like a dream and usually got 19-21 mpg going 67mph down the freeway. Haven't pulled it with the Mav yet, but I expect it to be as good or better in ease and efficiency.

With a brake controller added on; the Ranger 12 would be doable. That 2' of length over the 10 will be welcome. We're looking at going to an Expedition from our Classic now that I have the Mav and the Outback no longer is the tow vehicle.

Good luck!

Thank you!

Is that in tow mode?

90% tow mode.

I will use ECO for better MPG at slow speeds, residential, or bumper to bumper traffic. No reason not to use EV mode at slow speeds.

My little Square drop pulled great with the FWD Hybrid.
