Rental Towing #'s
Just curious...how heavy is this set up. 16' box truck rental, Ford Econoline 350, loaded with 1 bedroom apartment contents and a rental car carrier with a 3800lb. car. The front of the truck is tipped up slightly and the front tires are slightly of camber now. Rides fine with all this going on.
Thanks for information.

If you are going to be driving at night, check the headlight aim. Might not ever hit the pavement with the front end up. Make sure you have the correct tool to adjust the headlamps.

Headlight aim is not bad at all. Its shooting too far off but now horrible. The tow truck, its a ford econoline 350 gas motor with a 16' box. Your typical rental vehicle. Oh, its a dually. I did the MPG by hand, low tens.

-16' chevy 3500 box truck(loaded with tools, compressor, ect.)350gas/oil burner
-20' equiptment trailer

Total weight: 21,xxx
Last time I pulled this set-up, averaged 6.4mpg's. Milage gets worse and worse. Gotta fix the overfueling problem, the pipes between the manifolsds and cats are purple and the tail pipe looks like a diesels.
