Awesome New Tow Rig

[Beer-30]

I drove a LB7 2500 4x4 CC with a 21' Malibu and 4 adults/luggage from here to Barstow at 75-77 mph. Got 8.8 mpg. HyperTech, Gibson exh. Stock height / tires.
The owner swore that it gets crappy mileage above 70, basically chewed me out nicely, and said it get WAY better mileage under 70. The owner took the helm and drove from Barstow to Havasu and got 9.8 at 62-65. :idea:

Thats impressive! Mine is the LLY motor and it is getting considerably less mileage. (Maybe 10mpg towing)
the LLY does get a little less mileage than the LB7
about like yours 10 or so towing, 14-15 not towing (4x4 dually)
my LB7 truck pushes 20 not towing

Yeah, on the flip side:
Same LB7 truck I mentioned earlier, tailgate down, 55-60 on two lane road for repeated 50 mile trips = 425 miles, 21 gallons.

So you know that you have to do this on your next boat/trailer, right?

Dude, that set up is the sickest, I'm going to keep saving my pennies!

Yeah, you could match the 22's all the way along.
I think I would faint. I couldn't handle how good that would look. I would beg you to color-match the truck to the boat, though.

I think I would faint from the price tag! :squiggle:
