What sized 5th wheel?? I friend of mine pulls a 24' 5th wheel with a
'94 Dakota, auto, 3.90, V8... Did a 2000 mile 3 week trip a year ago....
No
problems at all... This is a 5th wheel that was pulled with an S-10...Not
big,
but not small either (like a dakota!). His average MPG was 8-9 on the
hilly
areas, and 12 on the level ground... Speed on grades never dropped below
40 mph in 2nd... He wasn't pushing it, and it did very well.
