2012 F250 - Don't need it, but will probably never go back to gas unless I have to.

I'm on Suburban #8. I've owned several others SUV's but every time I buy something other than a Sub I regret it right away.  That's funny Ken. I'm on Tahoe #7. Never needed that long bed since we don't have kids. It's amazing how much the Tahoe/Suburbans have changed since the first one I bought. Have a 2014 Sub with the 5.3 and it hardly pulls my boat.. Hell, it barely pulls itself. Complete pig.. Maybe it has a different rear end or something

2008 Toyota Sequoia. 5.7 V8. Love the shorter rear end. Very strange, I get about 14 mpg average just driving and pulling it drop to about 13 mpg. Not much difference. sucks either way.

2015 F150 Lariat Supercrew 3.5L Ecoboost 3.15 gear. Tows my Basscat like a diesel. Average 19-22 mpg overall. 13.5-14 towing. Could not be more pleased. Came out of a 2012 Ecoboost with 3.55 rear and the 2015 tows circles around it, it's not logical but it's a fact. Had a Yukon XL 5.3L with 3.73 rear gear that wouldn't even compare with the ecoboost.

I tow with a 6.2L Yukon. I don't really notice the bass boat (FX21) behind the truck but the ski boat is a bit of a different story.

GMC 4x4 LML duramax lightly modded. 15mpg towing 20ft boat. Managed 20.5 with a loaded bed (not towing) on a 1400 mile trip last month. Won't ever go back to gas...way too efficient and fun to drive

Wrecked my civic a month or so ago, got a 4x4 toyota tacoma to pull my boat. Just a smaller 17' tracker so nothing compared to some of yall  . Was a trade off between gas mileage/work driving/towing the boat. ..just curious, how well did that civic pull your boat?  ‘04 Dodge Cummins...her miles are starting to get to her though
