Just curious to see what everyone uses to tow with. Also how many don't have a tow rig.
-
You forgot Jeep Diesel, of course I don't think there is anyone here that has a CRD or Bluetech.
-
Well luckily I remembered the "Other" category... which is a nice catch all. I also didn't put YUGO, and I've seen pics of people towing with those.
-
I did see a vw bettle with a tow hitch on it today.
-
so does none fallm into the other catigory ? what about I have to bumm a ride with a friend :deadhorse:
-
I don't tow, cause I don't have a trailer, so I'm not sure my vote should count. If I did I would have to use my pickup and I'm not entirely sure how good a job it would do. Dodge gasser gets my vote.
-
Roger... I think yours would be the "i don't have a tow rig".
It was just a poll I put up out of curiousity. I did a quick count in my head and was thinking dodge diesels will probably be the majority, besides the I don't have a tow rig option.

Chevy gasser get my vote. The RV is build on Chevy 1 1/2 ton chassis with fuel injected 454 which mean about 8 miles to the gallon. I won't know until I get a trailer behind it which will probably mean about 5 or 6 miles to the gallon. but that all part of the fun it :deadhorse:

I was just messn with ya Aaron :o :78:
-
Figured I'd resurrect this thread. My tow rig just got a new update. Now abusing a 95 1 ton powerstroke, crewcab, 4x4. Ya it's going to tow a lot better and be a major PIA on campus.
-
With a one ton you sure won't need ramps
-
I have been pulling my rig with an '08 Tundra with the 5.7 and 6 speed. Pulls it like there is nothing there, and in a hurry.
Also still using the crew cab chevy dually, Vortec 454, and lets just say that the dually has a whole new attitude now.

1994 3/4 ton Suburban with 350, pulls great with a 22 foot trailer and ZJ on it.
-
I can't change my vote, but i now have a '96 CC shortbed Ford Powerjoke.

You can now change your vote. And Powerjoke? look around while driving and notice how many more Fords you see, than other trucks... and I ain;t talking about Mall trucks, I'm talking about trucks that actually do some work. The Powerstrokes are awesome my Dad has one, it'll pull anything you hook it up to.
-
it'll pull anything you hook it up to.
except a CUMMINS
sorry I could not resist
-
except a CUMMINS :o :wave:
hahaha, I knew it wouldn't take long for one of the Dodge boys to pipe up! :P
-
We tow with a Tiffin Motorhome that is powered by a 400HP Cummins.. :78:
-
Most have seen it, but figured new forum meant we need new threads and posts. So here is my new tow rig.

Couple good looking rides there.

It's been a year or two since I posted in here, we have a new tow rig 2015 Ford F150, a little V-6 ( Twin Turbo ) It has plenty of power, quiet, and smooth with plenty of low end torque---and very good gas millage in town driving.
