With 4.10s [ours is 4WD] and a 48RE automatic, we get 10-12 towing @ GCVWR [GVWR on the Montana] and 15-17 "unloaded" [~500# of tools, etc.] highway.

BTW, don't forget to have them put on a Jacobs...

We seem to be in the minority, here, by preferring a North/South orientation to minimize the added cooling effect of wind, especially when dealing with temps below Zero F.
