Spinoff.... Tow Pig Fuel Milage

matth_85 · Jun 5, 2015

Mine is a 07.5 Chevy with the Duramax. 295 BFG's on it. Has a 40 HP tow tune I run all the time and 5" DPF back exhaust with muffler delete. Other than that stock.

AVG mileage is 15MPG (by hand)
Single car trailer with buggy mileage is 12-13 MPG (by hand) 12 to the mountains 13 to Bama
Double car trailer with two units is 10 MPG no matter where you go it seems like

None of y'all will believe this, but I have a friend (spdkilz on here) who has a Duramax on 37s... We towed an all steel car hauler with winch & toolbox empty to Crossville, Tennesse from Guntersville, AL and pulled back a 3300 lb Toyota Truggy ... It was almost exactly 300 miles round trip & somewhat up hill at times... I filled his truck up with 13.2 gallons when we got back to G'ville... Over 22 mpg loaded.... The truck averages almost 23 normally and does 24 hwy... Call BS if you like, but I saw it with my own eyes

2000 Chevy Quad Cab with 454 Vortec
285 tires
EFI Live Tow Tune by Black Bear Performance

12 city/hwy if I am easy on it
10-11 hauling my YJ IF, and only if I stay under 75 mph
8 mpg when I get over 75 mph towing

I did get a record high towing number of 11.84 mpgs with A/C running, coming back from Tracy City on the Damn Locals ride a few weeks back. From Tracy City to some gas station between Nashville and Clarksville. I was surprised I made it that far before needing gas. I think it had to do with filling up with 93 octane at a gas station near where we rode that advertised no Ethanol.

2012 F-450 bone stock except a leveling kit and 35,s
