I have a 2005 version of that same truck and it will barely tow my

just last week and the average speed was 50 mph.

Do what you will, but you need a bigger truck.

Hmmm. Apples and oranges, but when I pull Yo Ho, I get about 12 mpg
with my V8 SUV. I think we are pulling about the same weight, too.
Of course it does.

You are the master.

My old 24 ft cuddy cabin runabout weighed a little over 5,000 lbs,
6300 lbs with aluminum trailer. We trailered it 1400 miles from CT to
FL behind my 4.7L V8 Tundra, averaging 9 mph at interstate highway
speeds of 65 to 70 mph.



My SUV has the same 4.7 liter V8. Must be why I get a little better
mileage than you did towing a lighter right.

Maybe Tom needs to dump that gashog truck.
