Tow Beast II - How bout a Mountaineer?

[SeaMasterZ@aol.com]

Any thoughts on the Mountaineer? One that I am looking at has the SOHC V 6, five speed auto trans, 92K on the clock and loaded<br /><br />Im guessing that at 215 horses, shell pull ok, and as a high tech six with a five speed auto should have a decent return on a gallon of gas<br /><br />welll ... maybe not stellar, but high teens<br /><br />Turns out the explorer / mountaineer is the only one I am comfortable in, even the early 90's burbs are scrunchers for room<br /><br />the 97 TAHOE now, oh brother, fits me like a limosine, but that thing would dollar me to death at the pumps, and the initial price is a ton to boot<br /><br />oh yeah, mountaineers come with trans coolers, so they should survive towing ok<br /><br />(up to 7000 pounds I understand, holy SeaCraft lugger!)<br /><br />

To bad you can't find something with a Powerstroke.<br />You'd get the pulling king and still get 18MPG of turbocharged pressure-fired V-8 intercooled stump yankin' #2 oilburnin' grunt master.
