Never buy a dodge with an automatic, especially that one, from that owner. I strongly recommend a piss yellow 1974 VW Beetle with custom roof mounted fifth wheel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpwH9WeVEfU

That is a pretty solid buy and a better ending than I expected when you started talking about tunered auto cummins trucks, to be honest.  Should be able to pass almost anything... except a fuel station.

Elephanthead posted:Well the upside is it is a minivan so it rides like a dream. The downside is it has a lower towing capacity. It will use much less gas though since you are not dragging around a ton of steel. Around town, yes. On the highway it doesn't really matter that much. I was rather surprised, but the best fuel economy I've ever gotten in my truck was 23mpg... 200+k miles, automatic, engine/trans never rebuilt, through the hills of pennsylvania and NY on i81 and i84, with 3/4 of a ton of cargo in the bed. A well designed efficient drivetrain, a low coefficient of drag, keeping your tires properly filled, your air filter clean, and most importantly, your foot out of the drat throttle (I did 55-65 the entire way with as little throttle as possible due to the world-ending hangover I was experiencing) affects fuel economy far more than vehicle weight when you're talking about long-haul. If you're driving it around town, of course it's going to use more if it weighs more. I can make the same truck get 13-15mpg pretending it's a racecar on the highway... with an empty bed.

whoa whoa whoa, standards?!?!?!?! That tell us how we can specify the towing limits on a vehicle we want to sell???!?!?!??!?!?!! We can't have that. It doesn't let us make up numbers. - Sincerely, the marketing department
