My Ford Explorer has been my faithful tow vehicle for years but is now biting the dust. It's a 2003 and has had a long and happy life.
My mechanic recommended a few replacement vehicles (Tahoe, Suburban, Expedition) but they're all huge gas-guzzlers. Yikes!
Have you actually looked at the mpg ratings for full size SUVs?
Newer ones are getting 20+mpg on the highway.
I bet they'll get better gas mileage than your older Explorer, cause I owned a similar Explorer and replaced it with a 2007 Avalanche(the same vehicle as the Suburban). I often got over 20mpg on the highway.
