What have y’all towed?
In 24,000 miles I finally need to move something over 4,000lbs so I’m calling in a favor to tow my 6,500lb tractor.
In that time I’ve saved about $3,200 in gas over the cost of an F150, plus about $1,600 less in insurance, and the truck costs about $14,00 less than an F150.
How much do y'all think you're saving?
