        Well I remember last year I did a 0-60 towing a 4000# jetboat,
up a very steep on ramp (with no run up), which then merged with the
freeway for a 6% grade for another 1.5 miles... 0-60 was about 45
seconds...But more importantly, accomplished with 3 people in the
cab of the truck (club cab, my friend's aren't THAT friendly!),
2 jetskis in the bed, a weed wacker/shovel/rack (for cleaning up my
friend's area around his trailer at the river, it was the first trip
of the year), 20 gals. of gas in gas cans, 2 fully stocked Coleman
coolers, and about 2 cases of beer...(in the back, not us)... PLUS
we past a ford F-150 pulling a similar type jet boat, as we got onto
the freeway... Gas mileage??? 11.25 mpg...
