Yeah Danny, towing to your mansion on the East coast sure sounds like a good deal!!
Just to let you know, I can tow my SeaCraft to Lower Matecumbe on one tank of gas at 65 mph with OD off. That's 305 miles @ 32 gal, that's the best I can get out of my F-150 with the 3.73 gears. Seeya |
Don-I am thinking 12mpg with the boat in tow (probably dreaming). Your getting down there pretty quick to your mansion at 65mph. I should be prepared for 9-10 mpg!
Oooh yea I forgot to mention that I have the mansion on Jupiter Island between Tiger Woods and Greg Norman's mansions :)! My parents and sister are right there in Tequesta. So, I was thinking of staying at my parents mansion - they sold the Loxahatchee River property but the new house ain't too bad :). Living and boating in Jupiter in the 70's and 80's was slightly different than today. I can't wait to be up and running with the boat and trailer. |
Burt Reynolds don't count anymore? :eek:
Good luck with the new tug Danny!! |
Ford Explorer
While we're talking tow vehicles, anyone towing their 20 SF with a new Explorer - the V-6 fwd version?
|
That new Explorer is a great vehicle. That should pull the 20 well.
Ken- I haven't heard what's up with Burt lately. I do get the play by play from my parents from the Lox Historical Society / Lighthouse tours / DuBois Rehab though. I love being there especially when Celine Dion is in town :). |
"I love being there especially when Celine Dion is in town"
Don't bust my chops!!!!! (even you Ken), however I took the wife for a "special occasion" to one of her concerts....no doubt she can sing! Danny, say Hi to Tiger when you're over there, don't mention he got smoked by Rory today. :) |

I have an 08 Armada and it tows like a dream. The backup camera is a big plus when hitching up as well.
I does not look like yours came with a tow package but I am sure its pretty easy to add. I am getting 12.9 mpg avg when towing per the ECU readout. |
That is great to hear on the mpg! Yea this one was too good to pass up with perfect paint / leather, DVD, ect. I've done a few hitch bolt-ons and harness work. The hitch is $150. 3 relays and the 7 pin adapter. The tranny cooler is exactly the same. The 2011/2012 smaller tow package using my 2.94 gears is 8200 lbs. I would love to have the back-up camera! I'm pretty happy with the 12k price tag considering the price new.
