First Time Towing My Teardrop Trailer

Alright... it's happening! Making the jump from my 33.x12.5s to 37x12.5s. Sticking with the Arroyo Tamarock RTs. Had the 33s for almost 10k miles and they've held up really well for a more budget friendly tire. Mocked them up next to the 33s, just for reference. Mounted shots coming soon! They're going to need some serious trimming, but it looks easier than older gen Toyotas.

Went for a quick winter test run with my Boony Stomper trailer. It weighs about 750 lbs. with what I had loaded up. MPG was about 13 on the highway, doing about 75-80. Not terrible, but not amazing. I imagine I could get closer to 15 if I slowed down a bit and the drive was more flat. You can definitely feel the trailer, but I didn't experience a huge loss of power or anything. I have the hybrid.
