Really think the tower adds that much wind resistance?

Yes I do. Prior to this boat, I was pulling a Seadoo Utopia 20 with my 2004 Ram with a Hemi engine. I got much better gas milage pulling that boat from Michigan to Florida each year. In June, I had to stop for gas every 3 hours on my trip from Florida to Michigan pulling the Yamaha 2013 242 Limited S. I can't tell you the exact milage, as I stopped keeping track along time ago. In July, I traded the 2004 Ram 1500 in for a 2015 Ram 3500 diesel. I pulled the boat from Michigan to Georiga and back thru the Smokies an averaged 15 miles to the gallon. Only have about 2,500 miles on the truck, so milage should improve with more miles on the truck. I will be hauling the boat back to Florida in October, and plan on keeping accurate track of my milage towing the boat to Florida, and not towing the boat when I come back to Michigan In November for deer season.Really think the tower adds that much wind resistance?
Nice truck!! But I would need a ladder to get in that bad boy!!
Very nice @HawkTX ! I guess that would be a Christmas gift to yourself then huh. Does it have the same motor and does it fit in your garage?
Nice! You'll pass everything but gas stations. Lol. That's the clearance that I have and I don't have a lift kit. I've got plenty of room lengthwise though.Tahoe had a 5.3L V8 and the GMC has a 6.2L V8. Barely fits in the garage. Plenty of room length wise, but only 2 inches of clearance height wise.
