Damn did not know you had an ATC. I love your trailer and set up. You have been some inspiration for mine.Even though the F350 has the computerized sway control in the trailer package from the factory, I still went with a weight distribution hitch with adaptive sway control, EAZ-LIFT Trekker 1200. My trailer man had some custom brackets made so it could fit the bigger beams that ATC uses. It‘s back friendly putting the torsion bars on their saddles as you use your power sand jack to raise the hitch until the bars are level, fulcrum them in place & lower the hitch setup & weight distribution is set. The last photo is the truck and trailer all loaded up ready to travel & it’s all level with the WDH setup.

@dragoon what mpg do you get with this setup and what speeds do you usually travel at while towing?Even though the F350 has the computerized sway control in the trailer package from the factory, I still went with a weight distribution hitch with adaptive sway control, EAZ-LIFT Trekker 1200.

Not exactly the same thing, but seeing these pics made me think back about 8 yrs ago or so when I was a "softball dad", you should've seen how many girls' families had fold-able wagons about this size for carrying all their junk for all day softball tourneys!So supertrailer, and dare do I say it super truck, is progressing. Having an 8.5ft bed has allowed me to move the ATV to the truck, freeing up room in the trailer. Recently I acquired one of those cheesy little wagons from tractor supply. I have since turned it into a pit cart. Tool box, a few essentials, a weatherproof box that doubles as a seat. This way I can roll 90% of the stuff out of the trailer, saving my fragmented back.

I have the 6.7 liter power stroke diesel (2018) & while towing (tow/haul engaged with auto engine braking) with full load, 10 mpg to 12 mpg. Tail wind can add 1 or 2 mpg but never seen it go beyond 14 mpg which is rare but it did happen. Head wind or side wind can decrease it by 1 or 2 but it never got below 9 mpg. We generally use the hi-ways with 65 to 70 mph speed limits. Just got a new set of Goodyear‘s (trailer tires) and they feel fine at 70 / 72 mph. Thanks for asking.@dragoon what mpg do you get with this setup and what speeds do you usually travel at while towing?
So Goodyear is the tire for the job? I usually tow at around 75mph, but the crappy chinese tires always have me worrried. I inspect them all the time, and keep 2 extra spares.
