Show us your tow rigs!

Is that the Eco diesel? What are you towing with it and what kind of MPG do you get?

It is - I get 23-25 daily driving and I have a lead foot. Probably would get high 20's if i drove conservatively.

Towing my AR210 on an aluminum trailer I get about 16-18mpg. I haven't put many miles towing yet so thats a very limited sample and it was on country roads. I'll be taking to bimini in June so that'll be the real test. I expect 18+ on the highway.

That’s stellar! I have the 5.7 Hemi and I get about 17 MPG daily driving. Usually around 11 MPG towing my 242.

One of the best towing mods I ever made.
No, I do not trailer in reverse.
But it comes very handy when maneuvering in tight spaces, moving trailers like tonka-toys.

Comes in handy with the bigger/longer ones.

That is significantly lowered. How much of a drop on that SUV?

I was |...| that close to getting a Durango, and love that lowered look!
Yes it is, lol.
I have about 1 1/2 in drop using Road Magnet springs. I kept factory shocks in the front but went with aftermarket Bilstein in the rears. I also added Airlift 1000 bags in the rear to help when towing the boat.

I too enjoyed a lowered Tow Rig for awhile. Came from the factory with rear air bags. Was lowered a shade over 2in in the front with a set of coilovers, and the rear had a custom height sensor rod and drop shocks.

Hoping our new Q7 looks this sharp in front of the boat!

Those SS's were always sharp.
 
I think @Babin Farms boat is a red 09' if I recall. And he is boating in the Gulf right now, maybe he will confirm when he is done having fun today. Envious....
Yep, red 09’ but I’m partially color blind anyways so your boat is just a different shade of red?

What engine did you pick? We have a '19 Expedition that only comes with the 3.5 Eco and it handles and pulls our boat very well. I'm impressed with it almost every time I get to drive it. It's the wife's ride.
