We did a similar upgrade from a 2010 171 to a 2015 179. The extra room and storage in the 179 is really great!

I thought I would add our new 171 HRE and my 2011 F-150. This is a Idaho "RIG". I am hoping the TT wind resistance does not kill my MPG as I get 18 towing a similarly  weighted utility trailer that sits behind the truck out of the wind.

I was hoping for better , you know the saying, wish and one hand and XXXX in the other , which weighs more.....seriously though , it got 13 in 15 MPH winds on a shake down, so I am sure wind will mess with mileage substantially.

2Peas, welcome.

Pooterpod, here's an example from our prior TV, a Sienna.  It got 23 mpg in daily driving, 16 pulling our popup, and 11-12 pulling the pod (one tank got 8 with a strong headwind).  The popup was heavier than the pod.

Our new 178 for our little family of four - me, my husband, my 4 yr old daughter and 19M old son! We are so excited for our very first trip to Tombstone for Memorial weekend.

Our new 171... will definitely have to post a better one later. For some reason I never took many photos on its first outing.

Here is our 179.  We picked it up last August and have been enjoying it ever since.  Tow vehicle is a Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel.
