gobig Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I am one of the diesel guys. I have an obs powerstroke and I average between 17 and 21 mpg. Towing with a smaller rig is fine if your not dealing with 8% plus grades or have big rims and tires. Quote
matuka Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 03' Tundra, smaller v8, yankin a heavy 20ft bass boat. I get 13-14mpg towing. I can feel the load going uphill. Don't like it but I just have to slow down and wave to the guys going 70. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted February 18, 2015 Super User Posted February 18, 2015 WIGuide, I do look odd towing an 18.5 foot boat with my Subaru but we get there safely. What is really funny is looking at the trucks and trailers when parked. The go truck, truck, truck, truck, Subaru, truck, truck, truck........ Hey whatever works! You can always just say that you want to stand out! I don't see anything wrong with it at all. I just got a chuckle from the typo that turned your fuel consumption into a speed. Quote
RustyShackleford Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 If all works out well in the near future, I'll be towing with a new Silverado 6.2 or a Colorado 3.6. Just have to really sit down and think about which I like better... Quote
LunkercityVB Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 2014 Tundra Crewmax 13.5-14 mpg without boat 12-13 mpg with boat Quote
bigdave2619 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 2006 chevy silverado 5.3L V8 towing a 18 ft full windshield walleye boat I get about 14 MPG... it gets about 20 without the boat... Mitch mine the same as mitch only difference is 2012 Quote
kjfishman Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I have a 2010 Dakota and get 15 mg pulling my boat. The price of gas keeps her in the garage when I don't really need the truck. Had a diesel Liberty before that and it delivered 25 MPG towing, those are hard to find now. Not many were sold in the U.S. Quote
