1999 2-door 4x4 Tahoe, 5.7L, 6" lift, 35" tires, 4.56 gears. I get about 12.5-13.5mpg not towing. 11.5mpg towing an 18' Alweld with 50hp Tohatsu.

It tows the Jonboat effortlessly with the 4.56 gears and it will go most anywhere with the Toyo MT's but good gas mileage is not an option.

My 2008 jeep liberty 4x4 lifted tows great. I tow my 22' baja play boat with tandem trailer that I know is super heavy with big block in it. Tows it beautiful just do not plan to stop fast in the rain. It's rated at towing 5000lbs what really surprises me. Gas mileage sucks though. Everyday driving in the city I get maybe 16-17, pulling the boat almost makes me throw up.
