Wow, for anyone looking for an inexpensive tow rig, you can't beat this. You can tow a house and get 23 mpg while doing it.

That's odd that the gauge cluster doesn't have a tach.

Yeah, I had a 93 and I would get 22-23 on the highway (70 mph, no more usually), 19-20 in the city, and 19-20 loaded with anything less than 10K pounds. I had 11.5K loaded and recorded 18!!

In reply to DrBoost:

Well 790mph is ok but why not go for 800?

Cuz at 800 the truck starts to experience lift-off

Nice catch.

dang ... I hate that it's 700 mi away ... the dents and rust don't bother me at all .... would probably do all I need as a tow vehicle
