Towing with Gas

[ktm racer 419]

friend of mine towed with a chevy caprice with a 5.7 and later a grand cherokee with a 4.8

i bet all of the trucks listed will tow better than those 2.

and he didnt have any complaints about either tow rig.

and it was hilarious seeing a caprice tow a one ton comanche on 39's

I've been looking a little harder at the CTDs lately. I've also started looking really hard at 2wd trucks for less money.

Seeing the caprice tow the MJ was hilarious! Seeing the pic of them doing 100mph with the trailer attached(no MJ) was better.

Get serious with yourselves.
Regardless of what you tow with: 10-15 mpg is what you'll see towing 5000+lbs.
It's not a little econobox car with great aerodynamics and a tiny motor.
It's 10k+ lbs going down the road.

Almost any tow rig, rated to do the job is infinitely better than driving the Jeep long distances
You're going to get better mileage and it's a lot more comfortable than driving the Jeep 400 miles just to stress about breaking it and fixing it in on the trail so you can drive home.

Ive got a dodge V10 and i love it.
The earlier years had some troubles but they fixed it in 97 i believe.
Dad has a 5.7 hemi and it pulls very good for a 1/2 ton.
ther chevy 6.0l has been well known for lasting 300k though.

I ended up finding a screaming deal on a 1994 F-250 with the Navistar IDI. 172k for $3200. I'm not looking to win any races and I saved myself over 10k.
