Your F-150 pulls that trailer? How's the gas mileage?

All in all, nice truck and trailer setup there..

It weighs 9400 fully loaded, food water and supplies. It might peak at 9500 and as far as gas mileage goes it aint real good, about 6 to 8 I guess. The truck did well pulling it for 60 or so miles some of that hilly I might add. the trailers 34'11 long so I have the sliding hitch. Theres about 1375 pounds on the hitch.

Nice rig. You sure are at the limits of truck capability!
The sliding fifth wheel hitch, I would not position it more
than two inches aft of axle.
Looks like you are gonna have some fun with that rig!
