Assuming my tow vehicle meets the specs to pull a variety of trailers, is it easier/more difficult to pull the following types of trailers?
- a lighter vs a heavier trailer?
- a shorter vs a longer length trailer?
- a flat front vs a V-shaped or rounded nose?
The heavier the trailer...the more fuel you'll use to move itThe longer the trailer...the more consideration you have to address tracking when turning...the more likely you might hang your trailer on a country railroad crossingA blunt nose trailer will cost your more in fuel consumption
