2016 Chevy Colorado Duramax 2.8L Diesel towing the FSH 210 at 60-65 MPH... 18MPG.Whats your tow vehicle and what is your average towing MPG?
I've always heard that toyota V8's make great power, but drink gas like a sailor drinks alcohol2012 Tundra with 10 ply Hankook tires.
Empty- 14.4 on highway (70-75), 12 around town
Towing- 12-13 on highway (70-75), 10-11 around town
My favorite vehicle was the 99 three quarter ton suburban with the 6.5 but I have to say that the best one so far has been this Tundra. just wished I didn't have to stop at every gas station I see. Been looking at the new Ford Expedition but may hold out for next gen Sequoia.
Seems GM is hit and miss on quality. I've been a GM guy for decades and have "toyota like" quality records on all of them. Currently at 81k on my Sierra and it's had just a few minor issues, and one major one. A/C went out at 70k or so. Extended warranty covered $3,500 in repairs (more than just A/C) for a $100 deductible. Had an '03 Yukon before this. Lost a blower motor resistor, a front wheel bearing, and an instrument panel in the 180k miles I drove it, otherwise it was normal maintenance (tires/pads/oil/etc)2kwik4u- Unfortunately you correct. They are pretty tough on gas. I was a suburban guy for 14 years and that is exactly the same mileage I got with them with the exception of the 3/4 ton diesel. I used to do 19 mpg on the diesel and 16-17 pulling a 19' boat.
125,000 miles on my Tundra and I haven't touched a thing. I did all the fluids and plugs last month so they say I am good for another 120,000.
Not to hijack the thread but there was never a time I could do that with a chevy suburban. Seemed like I was always making my loan payment and a maintenance payment. Loved the ones I had but Chevy just doesn't have the quality control in place like Toyota does.
Nice- Those are rare.2004 Ford Excursion 4x4 PSD. With 10,000 lb 35 foot travel trailer in tow about 12mpg. Truck was bullet proofed and has quite a few upgrades and a custom towing tune.
