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 pic in my sig.

Just getting ready to sell our '94 Mazda (think Ford Ranger). Bought it new as a holdover in early 1995. Sorry to see it go, but got a more suited, year 2000 3/4 ton replacement now.
Ours is black, with the graphics removed. 1994 Off-Road version, only 69k miles on it now. Never did a lot of towing, but did tow a 30 footer short distances at low speed. Truck weighed about 4000 pounds wet, the TT camper weighed about 7000.
The little truck EPA'd at 18 city, 22 highway but the best I ever got was 20 empty at 65 mph. It did get 18.6 all day long at 80 mph though. I never checked mileage while towing, but I expect it to to have been the usual 10-11 mpg at about 45 mph. A good match for it would have been one of the egg campers or a fold-down.
