Ok I know a diesel is the king as far as it comes to towing but is it worth the expense if I only tow a built CJ? I like the new body Dodge 2500s and one with a Hemi will pull more then enough. So is it worth it or should I save up and get a CTD?

Aint S: any details about your brother's mods?
Thanks,

I average 13-14 mph in town and 16 on the highway, but I have not lifted it or added larger tires. I think that it should pull the CJ very easily.
I went up to Kellog Idaho and bought it. Without the extras that I had installed, I only paid 26,500 before tax and license. I saved about $6000 over what a CTD would have run me.
If you were pulling large trailers and heavy equipment, there is nothing better than a CTD, but if you are pulling a light trailer with a Jeep, you will have no problems other than MPG loss.

How is it towing and at what milage?
