Interesting. Thanks for the info, wasn't aware of that!

 

The grand Cherokee crd was only offered in 07 and 08. 08 had the face lift, interior changes, and trailer sway control. I'm pretty happy I found a 08 with under 60k miles and happy I went with this cause it serves perfect daily duties rather than driving a full size truck.

I would def prefer to tow with a full size but the small diesel SUVs (GC, VW touareg, Audi q7, Mercedes ML320/350) all do double duties real well.

 

Good info

 

Finally got around to taking some pictures of what I call my mini-totor. I've been using an enclosed Pace trailer towed by a converted Penske moving truck. I just didn't like the car getting funky towing in the rain. A trailer builder custom built the RV on a Ford E350 chassis with living quarters, shower/toilet and it tows great. Mileage is about 7.5 towing the 24ft trailer with vehicle and equipment. Coincidentally, it will be sold once I sell the race car. I've attached a couple pics below and there are more at this link:

2001 F350 5.4 Gas - Will be replaced soon with (hopefully) 06 Chevy Duramax.

I get about 10mpg towing my 24ft enclosed (just picked it up for $2000).

 

98.5 ctd 4x4

Averages about 16.5 mpg towing my open car trailer

 

16.5mpg?! Damn!

My friends brother has a 2012 Ford F350 Superduty 6.7L, and on our way to the track, towing his SC300 with an open steel trailer, we were averaging 18.6mpg.

Couldn't believe my eyes. Wish I could afford a $60k+ truck.

 

Yup!!! My friends 2007 Dodge Cummins 2500 did 18.8mpg pulling my car to the track, and here in California it is NOT flat going anywhere I'm trying to pick up a Dodge or Chevy by early next year

 

Same here!!

 

I was impressed when my friends duramax made 15.5-16mpg over a 20 hour round trip to chicago (AMS) w/ a car in tow. 18.8 is insane.

 

When me and leetevo here on the boards towed his evo 8 rs to buschur from SoCal we averaged 15.8mpg over the 2,400 mile/37 hour trip On some parts we were going 80-85mph too for a good period of time!!! He has a Dodge Cummins 3500 4X4

 

^Nice! I almost bought that Evo a few months back.

 

Yeah that truck is badass!!! He offered to sell it to me recently and lets just say i'm extremely tempted to buy it, especially for the price he gave me

 

guess i'm new to this show but...

this truck is nasty - a lot of info for you guys who were talking about supercharging the sequoia.. the car actually gets better mpg fyi. 500hp 550lbft is just plain nasty, i would love to have that, plus the TRD upgraded brakes.. I can't imagine how terrifying it would be going downhill and the brakes are getting a little soft in the truck - then what do you do???

all that said, I'd love a sequoia to do all of this with. I read that SUVs aren't preferred but you can't beat that utility!

 

i heard from the dealer the Super charged tundra actually needs more gas . ( i was on the edge to super charging, when i was getting mine. I did actually had an offer for a very good price for a kit.
But it is a BEAST for sure, and sounds amazing!
