Re: tow vehicles

I use mine as a work bench and general catchall. The damn thing still only gets 10 mpg turned off.

Re: tow vehicles

My crewcab PSD Ford is basking in the warm South Florida weather while I am in the cold working to pay for it. No need for it up north. Daily driver when in Florida.

Re: tow vehicles

1996 Silverado, stays in the garage year round and when I do use it, it is for towing. And just like the other duallies, gets 10mpg standing still.

Re: tow vehicles

General commuter and family vehicle. It won't get to tow the boat (no trailer) but will get to tow the Corvette once every year or so.

Re: tow vehicles

I have two..
The Chevy is my personal truck.... MUCH nicer all the way around than the Ford.
Stock D Max LLY (for now). Get's about 16mpgs empty. 14 pulling 8500lb.

The Ford is the work truck...company supplied. Small block 5.4. Worthless as a tow engine.. Get's 12 mpg empty. got 6.1 mpg yesterday pulling 8500lb over a 500 mile trip.! And, this is Florida. No hills. Constant pull, but no hills.
Good brakes on the Ford though. Thats all it has going for it. (turd)
