The new tow pig. 2012 5.7l Rock Warrior edition. Pretty much stole the thing.

^^Nice! I need one of those.

88_Pathy · « **Reply #722 on:** Sep 23, 2012, 08:27:12 PM »

cencalwheeler · « **Reply #723 on:** Sep 23, 2012, 09:25:31 PM »

Ive owned one for about 6 mos. I agree tows the 82' great & strong truck.

I need a flatbed now... Lol. I just wish the MPG was better. I am seeing 14 mixed driving.

This might sound weird or maybe im just lacking in knowledge, but in texas at 4,000 ft. elevation I got 16.1 mpg, I moved back to Oregon at 935 ft. I now get 15.6 mpg. 2007 tundra double cab 5.7 afe intake, spintech muffler everything else stock.

It's not weird at all, you are probably using the California blend of fuel. It really does kill your gas mileage. The last time I drove to MOAB I got horrible mileage going compared to coming back. On the way out I had to fuel 3 times and only stopped twice on the way home. In fact I last fueled in George on the way home driving all the way to Santa Clarita vs. fueling futher inland east of L.A. on the way out.

Did they all have ethanol? I get much better mpg when its ethanol free

I'm not sure it was gas from the military base (Ft. bliss, TX) its always about 10 cents cheaper.

What about long straight roads in Texas vs. short twisty ones in Oregon? How often can you use cruise control in texas vs.OR.

Here's mine - '01 1500 'Burb with the Heep on the new trailer. I like how it pulls. I suppose I would be happier with a 2500, but it's what I have and it's paid for.

Recently part ways with the old tow rig. She did everything I asked and then some. Looking for new one. Shouldn't have parted ways but that's how life works some times.

Wainiha · « **Reply #738 on:** Dec 18, 2012, 09:29:00 PM »

I like the older models. You could tell the construction was more solid. Even just closing the doors you could feel it .

I had an old '78 Scout Traveller that I could stand on the middle of the hood w/o it deforming.

Slolyfe · « **Reply #739 on:** Jan 08, 2013, 07:18:26 PM »

Not a tow rig but part of the set up. New trailer.

Love the old school dodge and chevy. Those are nice trucks.

I like this tuck a lot. Perfect candidate for a diesel swap.

my 2000 ford f350, no flatbiller crap on this one

cencalwheeler · « **Reply #743 on:** Jan 11, 2013, 10:57:15 PM »

I'm really liking this truck. Tows better than expected.

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #744 on:** Jan 13, 2013, 08:48:38 PM »

My daughter has one of those and it tows her toybox real nice.

cencalwheeler · « **Reply #745 on:** Jan 13, 2013, 11:20:46 PM »

That's good to hear. I will be in the market for one of those in about 6 months. My sons and I are starting to go out to the desert and ride quads so its probably going to happen. Do you know what length hers is, just curious.

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #746 on:** Jan 14, 2013, 12:06:17 AM »

I believe its around 20-25 ft

cencalwheeler · « **Reply #747 on:** Jan 14, 2013, 01:52:19 PM »

Thanks for the info.

A few from our snow trip... Looking for a gooseneck hitch if anyone knows where to get a good one at.

yota_krawler · « **Reply #749 on:** Jan 14, 2013, 04:17:25 PM »

06 gmc sierra 5.3l intake, throttle body spacer, and exhaust. It does good for what it is... I need to regear it cause whatever the stock gears are, it could turn the 33s better IMO.
