My Tow Vehicle Uses -

Lots of folks tow with gas and diesel, it might be interesting to know how many tow with what.

Gratz Dave, but lets just leave this thread to the poll. (Unless you think I should have put alcohol as a choice).

There is already an MPG thread.

2012 RAM 2500 5.7 Hemi/ 6 speed /4:10. I have nothing to compare it to, but it pulls our 10k/35ft Sabre 5th Wheel very nicely @ 11 mpg...seems like it has plenty of reserve power.

6.7L Cummins in a 2010 Ram 2500. 11-12 mpg when towing. Pulls like a dream.

A reminder please. Just what you are towing with.
Use the MPG thread to brag or cry about your mileage.
