... Towing with a F-350 XLT Ext Cab LB V-10 6.8 L and 4.30 rear-end. It tows like a dream and we are very happy.
So happy that your full time adventure has turned out so well for you. But I gotta ask. With a 4.30 rear-end, what kind of gass mileage do you get?

Craig

Mileage:The 4.30 rear end gives a little extra towing capacity. Towing on level highway I get around 9.5 to 10 mpg using reg gasoline. In mountains, the mileage usually drops to around 8.5 to 9 mpg. If towing downhill, I have gotten 10 to 10.5 mpg. The truck gets 12.5 to 13 mpg when not towing. The BS 3575rl tows so nice, I often forget it is back there! However, the rear view mirrors remind me that it is following me!
