Well, the burb probably dogs out due to the rear end ratio. The trick to compensate for that is to get one of those gear vendors over/underdrive units. you will get an extra overdrive for highway cruising and get even better fuel milage when not loaded down , but when towing you can effectively put it in direct and under ( in reality, the gear below and over ) to lower the final drive ratio and give you all the pulling oomph you need.

Well the 1 ton 6.5 td doesnt even know there is a car on a trailer back there, but the burb 6.2 diesel is kind of slow, but gets the job done and gets a little better mileage. Also thought about finding a mid 90's 3.4 ton 6.5 td with a 5 speed, that would probably get pretty decent mileage without the slushbox.

yep.  The only reason I was really looking was for the extended cab to
get more people in if needed.  I will be sticking with my 95 and my

Dayum, you are smarter than you look!! With the burb, there's plenty of seating anyway. Which one is your preferred hauler?
