No V-8 tow rig is going to get stellar fuel economy while towing but that Grand Wagoneer gets 7-8 mpg empty, going downhill. And it's truly one of the worst cases of automotive malpractice ever foisted on the American consumer. I owned one once, new swear words were invented. POS is not fair to all of the perfectly fine pieces of schit around.
Same with driving that early Suburban 4x4. You would park it in your museum after a half hour. Back to reality, my 1999 Tahoe drives and tows great and the Airstream goes down the road better than any new trailer with its light weight, aerodynamics and perfect balance plus T-bar and dampened suspension.
