In my opinion, no.

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

just over 5,000 lbs. *I get 5 mpg on average over 900 miles of towing

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.
