Well, first time towing my boat 1000 miles with the 5.0 engine.....
Boat: Sea Hunt 229 Ultra with 200 h.p. Yamaha motor...tandem axle trailer
Boat weight...4,000 lbs.
Trip....from Ft. Myers Florida to Kentucky....
Gas mil....8 m.p.g. to 10 m.p.g....
Exhaust gives out loud "grouling" noise when running above 3000 r.p.m....(very annoying)
Truck was in 7th gear most of the time......
I tried putting gear shift in manual and running, but didn't work very well with all the hills....
I still love my truck, but the load exhaust noise while down shifting is very "annoying"...
I didn't buy a Mustang, I bought a truck.....I want that noise in a Mustang, but not in my truck....
Wish I could have the exhaust re-done to quiet it down on the trip....
Thank goodness I only make this trip once a year with the boat....
Sincerely.
