Sled deck mileage?

[neilsleder]

Really?? Cause my 2014 Tundra with a 7" lift 35" tires and full set of airbags hauling 2 - 163" skidoos seems to haul them just as good as any diesel I have used. It's all how you drive them. I get 23L/100km without a deck and 26L/100km with two sleds. Last I checked gas was 89 cents and diesel was 116.9. That's good enough for me to drive a gas and not waste the extra $10 000 on a diesel. Just my 2 - cents

That thing just gets ****ty mileage all the time! Lol

No but you could spend less on a proper truck that has the legal payload to carry all your crap. That tundra likely is over its legal weight with one sled on it with those heavier tires.

But who cares if you don't care right? No one should care to try and help educate those people who are operating their vehicles over the max weight.

Just because people haven't been stopped for being over weight it shouldn't matter in their minds.

I've never had to put any fuel into my sled deck and its got thousands of KM's on it. I would say it gets excellent fuel mileage.

Yes but is that on a half ton TG?

do I need to put airbags on it?

Nope. Put a 50" LED light bar on the front of the car, and that'll getcha back down to level. And run that phucker 24/7.

I was going to put in on the roof, and use the mounts as "tie down" points for the power toboggans.

Have fun calling your insurance company if you crash, there going to void your insurance and if you injured someone or killed them expect a sweet lawsuit that will cost you a lot more then $10,000

I Just got back from Golden last week I run 2015 Stock 3/4 ton Duramax, Gets 12 to 13 L/100 unloaded get 19 to 20 with a 8x8x18 trailer on in he mountains on crap roads keeping a good clip. I know a deck would get better milage but the convince of hooking up a leaving and dropping the trailer when you get home is worth the cost for me.
