LOL. They are NOT a towing machine by any means the mileage goes south fast pulling a empty trailer even. Last edited by Law Dog; 06/09/20 09:14 PM.

I have an '06 Dodge 3500 with a 5.9 Cummins that I use when I need to really haul something but I try to not to put many miles on it since it has enough quirks already. My '99 Tacoma has 386K on it; that reminds me I haven't changed the oil for a couple of years, I should think about doing it soon. And I have a '89 Tacoma whose odometer broke back in 2004, had 233K on it then probably has well over 400K by now, and I haven't changed the oil in that one in over five years. It makes me wonder how many miles I could get on them if I took care of them. I have a Dodge with quirks....but its paid off 5 years now.

If anything gets too much then i have an 06 dodge 3/4 deisel manual transmission. To haul the big stuff. I have an 01 ford v10 with 260000 on it that went thu 3 kids rodeoing and showing livestock. But it gets 12 miles per gallon and the dodge 20. Last edited by nvwrangler; 06/09/20 09:52 PM.

My 6.0 does fine but it can’t touch the 8.1’s power

The Tacoma's bigger brother with the 5.7L does me a good job handling both. “What’s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.” Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers

My '99 ford and everyone like it around here has rusted out rockers.
