Default Did some towing this weekend

So my best friend got really sick with mono and the school made him pack up and come home because of health risks. So I told him I would come up with the truck and pack up his dorm room. Only problem was he was too sick to drive from Boston to NYC. No problem, I said, we can tow the wagon. We rented a uhaul auto transport trailer and towed the BMW all the way there with no problems at all.

My truck is a 2011 FX4 screw 5.0 with 3.73 rear end. The engine felt plenty strong an I got 13mpg the whole way. I was pretty impressed

Great report What kind of speeds did you travel while towing to get the 13 mpg?

haha i thought about making him ride back there as a joke for about 5 seconds but decided i could use the company

to get 13mpg i was traveling 65-70mph in mostly light traffic. it got heavier into the new york area but my mileage stayed the same
