I own two 3/4 ton chevy trucks with 350s in them, I haul 14,000 lbs with them both. The two wheel drive gets 11 mpg on flat land, the 4 wheel drive gets 8 mpg haulin 14,000 lbs. If you are in a hurry, buy a diesel or BB gas.
mouse motors can only do so much, i cruise at 65 mph safely. that is it. I am happy with outcome.
And you said it, sits 90% of the time. not worth the $$$$$$ to let it sit.:iagree:
