Trailer rigs/ fuel mileage?

[RoperAB]

I know where there is a 1999 Geortzen 16 foot steel BP stock trailer like Soapweed decribed for $5700CND. This trailer looks in the picture like new and could probable be bought for $5000.
Problem is its a Geortzen! I always have heard Geortzen trailers where junk and that the rust out quick.
However I always just heard this from people who dont own geortzen trailers.
Do any of you have oppinions on Geortzen?

We ve got a 2004 F-350 Ford and pull a 24 ft Real Industries trailer. Truck is getting darn good miledge now that they did a recall on it. We are getting 20 mpg pulling and about 24 mpg jsut driving. And we load her heavy.

Its a 6.0 L powerstroke diesel and has the hd auto transmission in it. I believe it has the 4:11 ration rear end in it. Its got loads of power!!

Here is our truck hooked onto our 32ft gooseneck loaded with bales.

Nice rig.
Ever get stopped by a Diesel Bear when your pulling that many bales?

diesel bear? DOT? Were legal when they are all strapped down and d signs on. There are 3-9000 lb axles in that trailer.

We have a 2005 F350, 6.0L powerstroke with 5 speed auto. It will pull anything you want to put behind it.

Problem is fuel milage. We only get aroud 14 on highway and 12 pulling 20 ft aluminum GN horse trailer. Was pulling flatbed today with 17 bales hay and computer showed only 8 MPG.

They did recall back this spring to put in new chip and it made it worse.

I dont think they put a new chip in ours but they did change the exhaust pressure valve and it made a heck of a difference
