I was hoping somebody has a truck with lbz motor in it. How does it tow and do you think the over heating issue is solved?

dozerboy 10-22-2005, 04:42 PM Yes, look in the LBZ section. vw23 10-22-2005, 05:49 PM I have looked in the lbz section and nobody has said anything about towing. dozerboy 10-22-2005, 06:03 PM PM him or post in this thread Sorry everyone about the lack of pictures and then disappearing off of the forum for 12 days. But the truck came it two days before a 12 day trip to Florida, and we just got back at 6 PM tonight. So here it what I can tell you so far... This is a GREAT truck! When we left on the trip, it had 312 miles on it. First tank, cruise set at 63 MPH, was 13.4 mpg. Ran the rest of way to Florida at 64 to 65 mph and averaged 13.6 mpg for the trip down. This is pulling my 28" Airstream, loaded up with all our gear. On the way back, the average mileage was 13.8, average speed was 65 mph. The truck has only 2600 miles on it right now. At 65 mph, the truck is at about 1700 rpm. Great power, love the manual shift mode, but I let the automatic do its work, and it did it flawlessly. I am really pleased with this truck. Someone said this truck was overkill for my TT. Naw, they are a great match, I did not want to pull it with a gasser or a half ton, I passed a lot of them going up and down through the mountains in Tennesee and North Carolina. Besides, the Pickup is still cheaper than the TT, so it can't be overkill for it. | ||
