What do you use to haul or pull your SXS???

Im thinking of getting a cargo van or something to pull my RZR and camp in and was wondering what everyone else used to get the SXS's around?

Mister P had a nice one for sale. Not sure if he still has it. It is a Ford 4wd Econoline.


I drive a 2005 Crew Cab Duramax.

Ford Escape- 14 mpg towing

Also i forgot to add what type of MPG to you get pulling/hauling your SXS whether it be truck, van, suv, etc......

2001 chevy 3500 8.1L pulling 31ft puma unleashed 5th wheel. 8mpg

same truck pulling 5x10 trailer with rzrS. 10mpg

empty 10mpg

Pull 20 ft work and play Toy hauler with RHINO, heavy 5700 unit with a 09 DODGE 1500 with the 390 hp HEMI, Ohio pull-----12MPG----WV /TENN pull----9-10 mpg, Pulling Rhino on 16 ft dual axle trailer 12mpg

If I am camping, I use this one. I get ~10 mph pulling this one.


If I am riding and going back home, I use this one. ~14 mph. I get ~18 empty.

03 F-350. 12 to 14 MPG no matter what I'm pulling. I have a 16 ft utility trailer.

Same as above, only an '02 chipped.

Here is mine, 45 MPG unloaded and 25-30 loaded!!

This was before the lift and tires. Tows is good, its a diesel, slightly modified.

2010 F150 - 30' Enclosed Pace trailer - 2 SXSs & 2 quads. Pulls like a dream but only gets 14.7 mpg avg non towing & ~11 towing

'04 F150- pulling a 20 foot trailer with 2 SXS gets around 12mpg. With nothing gets around 18.

Thanks peeps, im looking for ideas on a tow vehicle and just wondered what type of MPG everyone got. Keep em coming

Mattman347 that is awesome lol

Ford Excursion w/ 7.3L 23 towing, 26 empty (chipped)
Ford F150 12 towing, 14.5 empty.

I'm not sure about mileage but its a 24' trailer with two SxS's and I run 75 to 80 so not too good. I cant make it from home in Winchester to Brimstone and back on a tank.

2002 Silverado 2500HD Crew Cab, 6.0 fuel sucker gas, 8mpg at best towing 35 foot toyhauler. About 10mpg towing 14 foot utility trailer.

2001 Dodge 3/4 ton Cummins Turbo Diesel. I traded for a new trailer this year. One in this pick is a 10ft tilt bed and I got a 12ft drive on ramp now. 16-18 mpg towing and 18-20 mpg empty running the speed limit or just a whisker under.

It was an 07. And was a Gas Hog. Got sick of feeding it, and wanted something new. Explorer got 10mpg towing and 12 everyday driving. Had a 300hp V8 in it. The Escape has a 240hp V6 and gets 14 towing and 19 everyday driving.

I've got an 08 Tundra with a 5.7L engine. Gets 15-16Mpg around town empty. Anywhere from 8-12Mpg towing depending on whats behind you. Pulling a 24+ cargo trailer with two SxSs in it I got around 8 going through TN. This truck has the most @ss of any half ton I've ever drove. 12" rear end with 4.30 gear ratio. 382hp 401# of torq. When I decided to trade our SUV in on a second truck I had to go to a 3/4 diesel to get a stronger truck.

Now the new truck is a 2011 Chevy 2500 with a 6.6 duramax diesel. Haven't had it long enough to have set numbers on mileage. I've seen everything from 18 to 12mpg empty. Towing the same 24' trailer to brimestone I only got around 11mpg average. Not great but its better then 8 I guess. With the diesel however the truck Never down shifts to make a hill. I could drive up a mountain running 70 with a trailer behind me in the tundra, But it might be in 4th gear doing it. With the duramax you set the cruise at 70 and it just goes. Up down around what ever. never shifts and the RPMs never jump up. Its pretty wild. Between the exhaust brake and the allison transmission you pretty much don't even need trailer brakes. At least not on a 8k trailer.

New truck is nice William.

04 Titan

I swap up depending on who im goin with
Just me- 07 F150 chip exhaust and intake = 19-22 unloaded 15-18 jus the commander.
Brother- 01 F250 5.4 intake and exhaust - 12 mpg but it will pull anything
Skeet- 01 cummins 5.9 straight pipe. 18mpg loaded with 2 atvs and the commander. and its lifted 6 in and 33in tires.

07 Chevy Duramax, too many mods to list...531rwhp. Will get 22hwy/19city.
Towing 32ft Work & Play it gets 14 mpg with the Rhino loaded in it.



Towing 14ft Featherlite trailer and Rhino.....Will get 20mpg.
