First Time Towing My Teardrop Trailer

One of the easiest mods I’ve done so far is adding the ScreenProTech matte screen protector to the display! I wanted to protect the screen from scratches, and from experience with my old rig, I’ve learned that dirt and displays/screens don’t mix — no matter how careful you are when cleaning. So definetly wanted to do things differently this time around! I also added a clear protector for the cluster display, but I’m a huge fan of the matte option for the main screen. It cuts down the glare big time and makes everything easier to read, no matter the time of day. Not the flashiest mod ever, but it’s one of those simple upgrades that just makes sense — 100% worth it.

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.
