Location: Dane Country | You also have to look at a safety stand point. I tow with a 1997 Ford F250. Big block 460, auto,2wd, and an auto trans. Pure overkill. But I can to anything, stop fast, never stress the drivetrain no matter how steep of a mountain. I get roughly 14-16 mpg at 60 and my towing delivers between 12-13.5 mpg. I owe no money and she has never left me stranded. She has 110,000 miles on her. I changed the original tires at 88,000 miles, did it's first tune up, tranny flush and coolant flush at 90,000 miles. Last week replaced the original front rotors at 109,000 miles. I don't think I could ever sell her.
If you buy to small of a vehicle towing will be miserable. It's not all about mpg.
