2003 Dodge Cummins.....18 mpg around town/ 21.5 empty on the highway.

I've had the Ford and the problems and this is my second Cummins and I wouldn't tow with anything else.

If you look at the diesel PU's towing the biggest loads on the highways you'll see a bunch of Dodges.

Jim getting up to speed is only half the problem. It's stopping that can get real important
My total weight is 33,000 pounds and I wouldn't want a 350 or 3500 trying to stop it in an emergency.
