fwiw, I currently tow with a 2003 5.4 expedition (2wd), with the tow package. getting 15mph around town, and 13 when I tow. (love the truck, not the mpg).
before that had a 94 expedition 4.0 v6, also with the tow pkg. think it got 16mpg, and 13 for towing. felt it too small for the car trailer (didn't own the mac then). it was ok towing a skiff (20' open fish w/ 200 merc).
and before that an 88 jimmy (S10) with the v6. towed skiff's fine. but had main seal problems.
finally, I had a go fast a long time ago (1998 ?), w/ 3 axle trailer. used a friends ford F350 dually diesel, stick, and it had problems getting it out of the ramp. felt like he had to slip the clutch to get it going. but once on flat ground it was fine. -prolly not an issue for a mac...
doesn't dodge make a V6 diesel? (cummings)
