Can we also get what octane gas you used, which station you filled up at, how much per gallon and total fill up cost, as well as your home address, if you had the sunroof open and any other windows open? Were you drafting other vehicles? Did you exceed the speed limit or go under? Was it all downhill or uphill? Did you jump out of an airplane with the camper attached?

Did you use an auxiliary braking system? If so, how did you install the controller?
OP has a 1600 pound pop-up tent trailer. trailers that light generally do not have brakes - not even surge brakes.

We will also be sending you a fecal sample kit. Keep it in the fridge until the day you send it back in.

They make a blue tooth braking unit
So easy to use
Don’t know why ford didn’t put in a plug for trailers
Ford wanted 1300 dollars for hooking it up
I told him I had tower ect
U-Haul charges 350 to wire and that includes blue tooth unit

The trailer is 1600 lbs forest creek called rockwood , average gas is 25
It tows like it isn’t even there
I have found the same towing my lil garden trailer with my ecoboost. 1500lb is pretty common for what i load. Mpg is just under 20 towing but I dont have any highway miles around here.
