Default What do you Pull Your Quads With? Truck, Car?

Whenever we go on long riding trips to W.V. we us a F-450 and 38 ft enclosed gooseneck trailer. We can haul just about anything we want in there. So far we got a Z250, a Lakota, 2 Raptors, a DS650, and a Banshee in there with some room to spare. And the truck has no problem pulling all that.

I hate to say it but this sounds like major BS. I own a GM truck and they don't get that much mpg stock yet alone with the added weight of the lift, tires and towing.
Steve, I don't think this is too out of line. He only has 285 tires on it, not 44's or something and the 4.56 gears will offset those. The other mods that added power can add mileage as well. (Like my Camaro..345hp stk and I get 26mpg. It does low 13's and will run strong to the fuel cut off at about 160). The things that make it fast, make it efficient as well.
I pull an 18ft car hauler trailer thats painted to match my Suburban. I have 3 bike hoops up front and room for two 4wheelers at the back. I just got the bikes and trailer so I havn't checked the mileage but I pulled my Waverunner to Wisconsin last summer and got 16mpg. I used to get better mileage but I went up 2 sizes from stock on the tires and this cut into my mileage a little bit. Oh yeah, its 4wd with a 9500lb Warn winch and two batteries. This is my 2nd 4wd Suburban. The last one was an 89 model and I put 280,000 miles on it and the motor was still strong when I sold it. I did put two transmissions in it though but I am always pulling some kind of trailer.
When I wear this one out I will definitely buy another one.

86 Chevy Surburban, big, white, lifted and LOUD.

Or 77 Chevy Pick Up - fits 2 blasters and a 90 on their WHEELs.

Otherwise, I cruise a 67 Olds Cutlass or a 65 Impala.

Love those American V-8s.
