Re: Ultimate Tow Vehicle
BS, I gotta tell ya that 24 mpg sounds pretty generous...mine was the smaller motor(302 I think)...after I replaced the motor it towed GREAT til comin' back from Charleston ran HOT... :o...seemed to lose a little kick after that...rebuilt tranny and added cooler, air shocks already there and added stiffest front shocks could find, Michelin light truck tires...that thing rode like a MAJIC CARPET and towed well in D, not OD, so had to keep her around 65(should anyway, hate towin' on Interstate)...
He's right about the plywood......it'd be OK on short trips, but no way pullin' a V20 on interstate long trip... ::)
I kind split the dif on last purchase...found truck(Car Max) w/24,000 on ticker, so dodged DEPRECIATION HIT , but got reliability...this truck I got now is THE perfect vehicle for boat tower w/kids... ;) ;D
