First RV tow with EcoD
Well it's not my first time but it is with the Eco-diesel. Was only about 30+ miles and all in the mountains around Knoxville Tn with some very step twisty grades. The travel trailer was a 25' weighin...

This has been interesting reading, as I have been wondering how these Ecodiesels perform. I thought these might be the ideal RV towing vehicle, UNTIL, I looked at the price. Wow, no Ecodiesel for me. I will stick with my F250, 6.2 gasser. Tows great, and I can buy a lot of gas for the approx. $15,000 premium it costs to buy one of these diesels.
I am glad these are performing well,as I have mostly been a "Dodge guy", but way out of my price range now.
Yes this engine option is expensive. But if you play your cards right these trucks can be had pretty reasonable. My loaded Outdoorsman sticker-ed at 53K and I walked out the door @ 35K.
I was just down there memorial weekend stopped at Brimstone and Fontana Dam. Was towing my RZR & bike would guess around 4K lbs or so with the wind drag in the up position. Had hoped for better but maintained a 15 mpg average down on 75 & 40 in KY & TN.
