How is it after a little use?
The Frontier was the world's most reliable truck, but you were def maxing it out and 7mpg is horrible.
What mpg do you get now towing the same?
7-9 MPG towing with gas is pretty standard. You get the low end with lots of hills and or headwind involved.
The high end in more ideal circumstances, obviously.
I had a 5.7L K1500 Suburban 3.73 gears, pulling my camper. 7-9mpg
Upgraded to a 7.4L K2500 Suburban 4.10 gears, same body style, same camper. 7-9mpg
The new truck gets worse gas mileage unloaded (at least 2mpg less highway). But pulling the trailer it is pretty much the same and does a much better job.
