Depends where you are, here in the UK I have a diesel manual which has a 2000kg braked towing capacity.

The fuel consumption depends on which trailer I'm using and weight but I get around 27 to the gallon instead of about 33, UK gallons that is.

Oh and the trailer hitch weight on mine is 75kg

Great news from across the pond.
My Sedona has auto trans and a 3.5 liter gasoline engine. Tow specs are 3500lbs and 350 tounge.
So yours is 4400lbs and 165 tounge?
I'm buying a Fun Finder X Model X-189 FBR
Axle Weight (lbs.) 2410
Hitch Weight (lbs.) 250
Dry Weight (lbs.) 2660
GVWR (lbs.) 4200
Cargo Capacity (lbs.) 1540

Any thoughts with these light weight trailers?
