Who has the oldest Tow Vehicle in service?
Age doesn't really matter but I thought it would be fun to ask.
I'll start. Mine is a 2010 Silverado. Beat that! :S

The GM 350 cu. in. (5.7L) Diesel was used mostly in Cadillacs and Oldsmobiles; there were a few Suburbans built with that engine.
The notorious problems with that engine were due to an "ID-Ten-T" error.
My '81 Olds Cutlass had that engine and I drove it for over 250,000 miles with no problems. I sold it in '99 and it is still on the road.
The engine in my Suburban is the Detroit 6.2L Diesel and has almost 500,000 miles on it.- Does my 1959 VW buggy pulling a utility trailer count? It runs a later model bus transmission with hub reducers.
- It looks like I've so far got you all beat with my 1977 Ford Bronco that pulls my popup.
- 04 Suburban 2500, 8.1L, 3.73 and 203K+ on the clock. Original engine and tranny...keeping fingers crossed they stay that way since it is Paid-In-Full and new(er) ones are NOT CHEAP!
- 2004 Ford Freestar 119,000 miles.

Durn, Your's is still NEW!!!!:B:B
mines a 2004- My tow vehicle used to be a 1994 Dodge Ram 3500 CTD dually. It was licensed for 14K GVW, and towed a 32 foot triple slide fiver at a GCW of 21,180 lbs.
It had 276,000+ miles on it when I gave it to my son.
If I do any towing these days, I guess it would be with the "toy truck" in my sig. That 360 V8 with 4.10 3/4 ton axles should tow anything I am likely to hook on to these days. rfryer wrote:
