If nothing else, I'm disappointed to hear they're "bad" on gas while towing. How much overall weight were you towing (trailer and load) and what were you getting for MPG / L per 100KMs?

I'm towing around 2100-2600 lbs roughly (including trailer weight). I have the tow package which comes with a tranny cooler and increases tow capacity to 3500lbs.

the trailer is 6'Wx10'L, and stands about ~7'4"

here's a pic


Currently I get 300km on a tank with the trailer hooked up fulltime. Less in inclement weather - wind, snow on the road, etc...

without the trailer hooked up I got about 400km on the tank - though I don't go a full tank without towing really since I'm towing once or twice a weekend depending on how many gigs I have.

when I fill it up I put in about or a little over 50L. All said and done it isn't great mileage - but it's still better than my Safari I had before this. I also find that while towing on the highway and keep it around 100-110kph i gain about 50km/tank versus 120kph


translates to 16.5 L/100km towing and about 12.5L/100km on the road
