Here is one with the boat hooked up:



This thing towed my boat just awesome. I found myself speeding several times on the way to the lake and I guess I was just driving it like I used to drive the old suburban. Kind of surprized it didn't have more power, but was very impressed with the brakes and the comfort. I have changed to K&N filters, put Castrol Syntech in it and is waiting to find an Accel ignition upgrade and compare again. I am very happy with this truck and anything bigger would have been overkill. With newly overhauled brakes on my trailer this rig stops faster than my old suburban did by its own, and I am serious! The autoride system is far better than what I expected it to be. When I hit a pump in the road you can litteraslly feel it kicking in when the trailer begins to rock and it will stop it instantenously.
Again, thanks for all good input and guidance to get me a sound and safe truck.

I hope you're getting 16, but mine will only do that coasting down a hill. I get 11-12 regular driving no matter what I try and 6-7 towing. Other than the economy, I like the vehicle a lot. It serves many purposes and is the best winter vehicle I have ever driven.
