Yeah i do not get the bast gas mileage at all. It is only about 20ish when i am towing. I would have bought a truck but the only ones I can afford are several years old and dont get very good gas mileage as an everyday driver. When i am not towing i can average mid 20's but i also do a lot of city driving between school and work. It does have the displacement on demand so that helps a little.

I like the DOD, I have it on my envoy denali with the same 5.3l v8 you have. I get about 22 on the highway
I really wanted to put a hitch on my 300zx Twin Turbo but never got around to it before I sold it. Pulling my ski with a 450hp Z would have been sick lol. I prob would have had to upgrade my tie down straps lol

My buddy back in the day pulled his ski on a single place trailer with a red corvette. Kinda silly. He thought he was cool. LOL.

I used to tow two couches behind my T-bird SC. I got some wierd looks but it worked for me. It was quick and comfortable.

Absolutely!! The only down side is carrying all my gear, tools, and fuel inside the car. I do plan on build/buy a box to put on the trailer and a couple mounts for gas cans just have not decided how i am going to set it all up.

I have my tools in a tool bag I used to carry for work. like $25 for a real nice one from home depot then I keep all my gear wet or dry in a $4 storage tote from walmart and if I am going somewhere that I need more than 1 tank of fuel I just bungy it on. but i do plan to build a rack on the trailer though.
Here is my ride. I have a truck but this is just for curtain occasions. http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/114834-Tow-Rig

Here's my "rig" 2000 mitsubishi mirage saves a HUGE amount on gas compared to my truck, Went from NW Iowa to Wis Dells at 32.4mpg with the car and trailer loaded full of camping gear.
