Gas milage?

[R.D.]

What kinda milage you fellers really getting towing a Boat? My old Mule didnt do to bad when I 1st got it......it would average arouns 13/14 dpending on hills/wind and suck.........Just figured my gas Milage on the Yukon and is getting almost right at 13mpg towing the boat through Hills at 60-65MPH......Also this was done with Tranny left in 3rd Gear at 2500 RPM.....the RPM's did not flex much at all even on hills......only remember a couple times the tranny kicking down hard to pull a hill at around 3k Rpm but didnt do it much.

Havnt been able to get a Good rating unloaded yet but hope to go somewhere soon.........Still need to put a set of plugs in it, Run some 44K through her and change oil to Synthetic and we'll see what she can do............proabably womt be much though

The HEMI gets about 15-16 on the highway unloaded and about 10-11 with the boat......... thats in Tow/Haul Mode

[chunter_ksu]

My 99 Z71 has the 5.7vortec Ryan and I get about 15-17 on the highway unloaded and about 12 towing. I get about 8 in town though.

[R.D.]

I havnt gotten 8 yet

well.......atleast I know I'm not too far off pace.


Luke.......I'm know your boat is heavier than Mine or Johns......and his Hemi got around 13-13.5 when we made the Drive to Table Rock

[Beetle]

I only get about 11-12.

Dont feel too Bad Brad..........My truck was only getting around 9.5-10.25 mpg just before I got rid of her......been trying to figure it out for too long till finally gave up and Cut the cord

[Luke]

His prob has the 3.92 gears.......some tard ordered mine with 3.55 when they bought it new my 4.7 that i had in my last 04 had 3.92 in it and got 12-13 with the boat but got 14-15 empty......the HEMI tends to like the RPMs on big hills and will suck the juice down bad then if its flat highway its not as bad but the hills and the heavy boat kill the mileage

[Jiggernaut]

You guys are lucky. I get around 6 or 7.

Yeah, that's right, my bad, withouth the camper I get 7 1/2.

[sclark]

My ole Ford averages about 12/13 empty and about 10/12 towing the boat.
but it must say that i drive 10/20mph slower when towing the boat.

My normal highway speed unloaded is 75to 80, towing the boat i keep it down to 65-70..

I reall ywould have that the Ol' dodge would have done better than that IMO

[caseysmith14]

I get practically the same weather I'm pulling the boat or not 12-13 highway, may have something to do with being all time 4 wheel drive? Plus I got a small boat too I guess

[ReelDoc]

'04 Tahoe Z71, 5.3L, 3.73 with Locker -- 17 average overall on the 3,254 mile trip I just took, 11.5-12 towing my TR-20 at 70 mph in 3rd.

I get 17 unloaded and 10 loaded. 95 Chevy truck with a 350, 20' cobra boat.

[War Eagle1]

I don't care what the milage is on my truck. I'm not selling it

[dmorgan35]

I drive an 02 Ford Explorer w/4.6 L V8. I get about 16-17 MPG on Hwy. Pulling the boat I get about 12-13 MPG. When running the A/C pulling the boat I think I only get 10-11 MPG. I didn't realize the A/C pulled it down that much anymore.

[TimS]

Usually around 10 pulling the boat, 11 if I drive easy, but I see 9 more than 11...

Not towing on the highway I can push 17...

[Bassman25]

not towing i can get 17.4 on the hwy and 13 in town with my 01' toyota tundra V8 4X4 but pulling my boat in tow/haul I get a whopping 10 MPG out of it...
