My first post. Just got a 2017 Rpod 180. Love it. Pull it with a 2012 Toyota Tundra 4.6l work truck. Hardly know it's back there. 75mph at 2300rpm using 5th gear. It the wind is blowing or there are hills I use 4th gear around 3000rpm at 65mph.

I would post a photo of my rig but I still haven't figured out how to post pictures. Sorry. They make it so difficult.

I get close to those mileage figures also with my 4 cylinder diesel (RAM Eco Diesel).  Gotta love the diesel! You should post a picture of your rig.

I'm pulling my RPOD 180 with a 4 cylinder diesel engine. It's the 4 door crew cab Chevy Colorado with the Duramax engine. I'm getting 29 mpg on the highway without the RPOD and 18 mpg pulling the RPOD. I pull the RPOD fully loaded with water everywhere I go.

Newbie here (re Ipod not years...oldie there).  

Bought a 180 then found that pulling with an Escape and a 98 ranger with 200,000 miles on it was iffy in mountains.... and you can not go anywhere in Washington without mountains so got a used Ford F-150 with 5.7L V-8 to pull it with.  From all the blogs looks like it will do fine.

Hope I enjoy the Ipod as much as you all in the 24 pages of posts in this blog seem to have.  Wife and I are downsizing from a big Class C.
When in doubt, don't.
