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. Funny you mention the Tundra. I've been resisting an itch to go trade the little Ranger in on one. If I cave, I'll go for the 5.7 liter engine (381 hp). It actually is rated to get better mpg than the 4.7 liter, although not by much. So far, I've successfully resisted the urge. The little Ranger does everything I need for now. But ... damn it's tough when you get bored and need a new toy. Eisboch |

Must be why I get a little better mileage than you did towing a lighter right. Maybe Tom needs to dump that gashog truck. |

They really are a nice civilized truck - quiet, comfortable, efficient, well finished, etc. I got an "ARE" fitted cap, painted to match, so it ends up looking like a big sport utility. I would have gotten the 5.7L but it was not available when I bought mine. The 4.7L has plenty of power for everything I do however. Cruising at 75 mph lightly loaded it is only turning about 2500 RPM. Pulling a trailerand boat at 70 with overdrive locked out, it turns about 3200. I got mine with 4wd, off road package, and trailer towing option. |

The F 150, although maybe "rated" by Ford to be adequate ... isn't, IMO, for any long distance, hauling of a boat that size. Thank you. My 1999 Expedition, which is an F150 with full body, sucked as a tow vehicle. My boat and trailer scale about 4500# and the Exp, got even worse mileage towing than the bad mileage it normally got.

I get 5 mpg on average over 900 miles of towing 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. Funny you mention the Tundra. I've been resisting an itch to go trade the little Ranger in on one. If I cave, I'll go for the 5.7 liter engine (381 hp). It actually is rated to get better mpg than the 4.7 liter, although not by much. So far, I've successfully resisted the urge. The little Ranger does everything I need for now. But ... damn it's tough when you get bored and need a new toy. Eisboch Talked to a guy at a Yosemite campground with a new Tundra. He said the mileage was about 14 coming from San Diego to Tuolumne Meadows. The new Hybrid Silverado got a good write up in Car and Driver or what ever car mag I was reading at the Dermatologist this morning. 20 mpg city / highway. But where will you get parts when GM goes out of business? |

GM is trading at about $11. Ford reported losses yesterday of $9 billion for the quarter. Only god knows what Chrysler's real numbers are. Which one do you think will fold first? Couple of comments. First, US automakers build what people want to buy. Up to a year or so ago people in the US still wanted mega sized SUV's and heavy duty trucks. Take a look around. There's a gazillion of 'em still pounding the highway. Now, because of an extraordinary rise in fuel costs, people aren't buying as many anymore. GM and Ford have cut back production big time of the big vehicles and trucks and are focusing on small, fuel efficient autos. Again .... it's market driven. The sales slump is unique to the USA. Both GM and Ford are still doing very well in overseas sales. They are also diversified companies, with many other revenue generating divisions. Both still operate credit companies, etc. Ford and GM aren't in any immediate danger. Earnings may slump for a while, but they will stay in business. Not sure about Chrysler though. They are now owned (majority) by a private investment group. If it doesn't turn around they are likely to pull the plug, I think. Eisboch |

It's almost cheaper to scuttle the damned boat when you're done with it and buy a new one when you get to the next place you're going to fish! At $4/gallon that's $720 just to get it home! "Hey, kid! Here's the keys and title to that nice CC over there. It's yours. We can't afford to tow it home. Take us fishing when we come back next year, ok?" The 1/2 ton designation is meaningless. http://trailerboats.com/towrating/ |

The U.S. auto companies are in trouble because their management sucks and has sucked for years, and they grossly overpay their mid and upper level white collar workers, as do many American corporations. I expect the rug will be pulled out from under Chrysler in a year or two, and perhaps one or more of its brands or product lines sold off to some other entity. Ford and GM are "multinational" corporations, and the management there doesn't give a crap whether they make cars in the USA or not. All three corporations are dumping their blue collar workers in this country as quickly as they can. |
