Towing mileage report.
I had mentioned the other day that I had towed a car and trailer for the first time with my dually. It is a C&C 2WD with a 350/400 with a 4.56 70 in the rear, it still has the huge steel flat bed with stake side on it, probably 5000 lbs. easy. I pulled 2 other cars today for a total of 116 miles over the 2 days with some in town, country and interstate driving. It got 8.5 MPG, it has been getting around 12 for regular driving empty. I don't think it is too bad considering and I figure I'll pick up 2 MPG when I switch to a regular truck bed (extended of course).
So my question is what do some of you get towing, please include drivetrain info and the size of the load.
Thanks in advance, Kevin
