When I tow my boat and trailer at around 5500 lbs I get 14.5 MPG and there are some hills. Its not flat. Thats at 60 MPH.

glad to hear you enjoyed the tow, hopefully I'll do the same thing across Canada in 2-3 years time! (one way that is!)

Heh...you took the words right out of her mouth! LOL!

Good luck on your future travels...

Respectable MPG

That's pretty respectable MPG for your rig. I think we could have done much better at 60...and maybe not so loaded like we were. But still, the truck is a great product and we're very happy with it. Now that we're here in AZ, where we have to drive about 10 miles to the grocery store, and about 20 to the nearest Wal-Mart, we're averaging around 21 MPG...
