I don't drive mine every day, but we tow our 35' 1951 travel trailer with it. We went to Tulsa Ok. last fall, 2 trips to Oregon in July, and up almost to the Canadian border last week. We weigh about 18,000 truck and trailer. I almost get 7 mpg towing the trailer (8 mpg empty) so, it only gets driven when my wife's car is in use or we need the space or to tow something!
