VX tows 49 Ford 2 ton flatbed!

It pulled it like it wasn't even there. Impressive. Everyone at work was pretty amazed how "that little thing towed the 49???"

Get some fat meat under them fenders and they wont call it "that little thing" anymore.

What the mpg with fat meat mounted????

I love the look of Monster Mudders on a VX that is 4 wheeling but can you really accuse the stock 245x60x18 tires as being little?

LOL, you realize he means tires, right? Not fatty meat from the `ol Mamas Fish House.

Wouldn't imagine you'd have time to figure out the mileage.

As far as meat goes try those 285/60-18 Nitto Grapplers. Since I've put them on my comment quota has increased considerably!

Edit: just caught the mpg reference..lol.

Well comments are nice...

but, I really would like to hear about the MPG when bigger than stock tires are mounted on a Vehicross.

Figures... anyone with big tires know their MPG?????


Thanks!

I'm getting around 16-17 hwy. & 10-12 in town...my tire/wheel combination tips the scales at 100 lb. per.
I'd no doubt get better mileage around town if I didn't have a horrible addiction to the forces of acceleration.
Also supercharged, K&N cone filter & Borla muffler with 3+" of lift.

Thank you. I think I'll just leave my tires/rims as is for now.

I don't want you to think I am suggesting you do anything one way or the other, but as a point of reference, I did get my best mileage ever(22.92) last year going over Vail pass (filled up about 100 mi. before the summit) with 265/70x16" tires on stock rims. (no lift)
And yes, I did compensate for odo error.
