Yea, it didn't really pull so well.  I was hauling his big ass truck plus like 1000 pounds of other crap.  Average cruising speed was around 60 @ 3000. It is a rebuilt stock 4 cylinder after all.  Hills pretty much sucked and the wind was so friggin strong in Kansas.  It was a very stable setup, just slow.  On the way there, I was getting around 25 mpg.  On the way back, around 10 to 15 mpg.  We made it back though so whatever.

That should settle some of thier questions since they are wondering about tow with 6cyl. and not a 4. The mileage difference sucks (j/k) though, but it was probably the wind too. I know my mileage will vary with the wind all by itself, but not that much.
