Default Re: Fuel Mileage

We towed our open trailer with the firebird and the box we built on the front 2 hours to MIR for the IHRA Double this spring with Mom's Dodge 2500 Diesel truck and got 17.5 mpg round trip.

Then we used it to tow a friends 28foot Gold Rush packed front to back, top to bottom with my stuff moving home from Radford and got a tick over 16mpg. Same trip with my Dad's 2001 Chevy 2500 Duramax got 15.9 mpg with the open trailer loaded down behind it.

The Dodges really seem like the way to go for towing to me. Diesel may be up, but the mileage really helps out a lot for us. Makes it hard to think we should get a motorhome.

Also, Mom's Dodge has a 3.55 gear from the factory, and will still go up the mountains as fast as you want with the 28 footer packed full.
