Default Fuel mileage while hauling a trailer

Ya'll need to sit down!

73' International 3/4 ton 4x4. 392 international engine, Comp Cams #268, 600 holley 4bbl, Dual 3 inch 2 chamber flowmasters with a crossover pipe, 4 speed Warner T-19 trans, Dana 60 rear, 44 front W/4.30 gears and 33's.








6.4 mpg! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Loaded........Empty.....Doesn't matter. With a headwind it get's down into the high 4's mpg.

It's a pulling monster though. I towed a friends 26 ft motorhome and trailer full of toys from Dumont to Baker and was able to maintain 60 mph.

Default Fuel mileage while hauling a trailer

I just borrow my friends car hauler. 18ft hydraulic bed, 454 bigblock, 4 speed tranny. 5 on the bed is no problem!! I get looks of spite from people from the riding areas around here, i come driving up and drop the bed and am gone before they get their trailer unloaded. just one of the perks of living next to an auto mechanic!! 15 loaded/unloaded. unless its a car, then its about 12. provided i stay out of the 4 barrels
