OVR4D said:Cannondale - You completely failed to mention the sled in the back ... You must be the first person on the site to post a pic of a red Viper. Congrats. You must be a happy camper.
Pic was from last spring. I volunteered to go get the Demo Prototype for local dealership. My Blue Viper is still sitting in a warehouse
Gas mileage on my 5.7L Tundra with 130000mi on it is 12-13 city summer 11-12 city winter 16-18 Hwy not towing 70mph or so 18-20 under 70mph. Towing a enclosed trailer with 3 quads or Chilton with 2 sleds at 70 mph 10-12 at 60 mph 13-15. Outside temp doesnt seem to matter while towing. I do wish around town or short trips was better on gas. Highway I am happy with since other trucks I have been in seem to be about same unless its a Diesel. I dont baby the throttle love the power and like to hear the engine sing. I have replaced tires twice,brakes once,AIP (a pollution do hicky)once under warranty and a rear wheel bearing once. No other issues but it is due for a Serpentine belt and sparkplugs soon. I also hate the fact it doesnt have a Posi rear end. The electronics will spin all four in 4x4 but the one wheel peel on concrete is really lame. Plan to add a locker by next summer. This truck does ride like a 3/4ton unless loaded or towing. Then she rides like a caddy.

Mileage is better than my old GMC 2500HD crewcab with the 6.0 litre gas motor....
Yes, the Tundra is a bit thirsty, but what do you expect with 381 horses on tap...you gotta feed 'em!
My mileage is right around 12 mpg when towing my trailer. I have a 3" lift and 295 Nitto tires, so that robs a bit of the mileage.
In my personal (and biased) opinion, the Tundra is WAY better at towing than my GMC ever was. The Tundra has a lot more power, a better transmission, and a much better ride.
The Tundra also puts a big smile on my face, every time I drive it.....the GMC never did that.

Nice Jeep! How well does it pull a trailer with 2 sleds? I am thinking about getting something in the future either truck or SUV/jeep.
