JD 1956 60 said: (quoted from post at 07:29:19 12/19/07) There have been a lot of negative comments about towing with a 1/2 ton pickup. I don't get it. I have a 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500 Z71. 116000 mile. 5.3 V8, 4 wheel drive, factory tow package. Pull a 16 ft. bumper hitch trailer. I have no problems hauling the Ford 8n, 1950 JD A, 1955 JD 50, and the 1956 JD 60. Get 15 mpg hauling/loaded and 18-19 mpg empty. Better mileage than my wife gets with her 05 Lincoln Aviator.
