Yes it will decrease your fuel milage hauling two sleds of any make. Have a sled deck on a 2004 2500 cummins, and it decreases the fuel milage on it by a bit too.

HMMM.. you mean compared to not hauling anything at all?

Extra weight and the big aero push isn't gonna help it that is for sure.

I think it will make you fuel mileage go down 3.762 mpg according to my calculations. Lucky they arent Yammies than it would be down 12.998mpg

the areo push is the killer

What you need is a precision instrument of speed and aeromax.

That's no where even close to what I was thinking!

With a 6 liter (gas) GMC 2500 and 2 sleds on my custom deck, the drop in mileage is only 2 more liters/100km. Saying that, my sleds are more behind the cab as
I have a flat deck type deck.

But 2 liters is only $2.60 more for 100kms......no big deal when I drive 10 kms to the staging area, eh!
