Before my 02 chevy, I had a 98 GMC Sierra 6.5 turbo diesel. That was a great truck too

actually seems to get about 15 mpg pretty decent I thought, for the size of it lol! its a sweet truck. with the amount of tq it has down low, you actually have to learn the throttle. like getting on a vmax 4 or srx, cant just hit it like most other vehicles

Here is what I tow. The truck is way overkill for both. My travel trailer is 24' and weighs in about 7000 pounds. My sled trailer is 17' and weights in at about 3000 pounds.

We have found that the cougar is perfect for the wife and I and our two large dogs. If we toss in the two kids then it is two small. But our son is out of the house and the daughter isn't far behind. The truck is actually my wifes ride. I drive a jeep or two. Well, I have a jeep or two that drive once and a while.... But thanks.

what have you done to the sti to get the power up that high??

3" turbo back exhaust, intake system, and dyno tune that ups the boost to 19psi. You get most of the power out of the tune and adding boost over the stock 14psi usually 10hp for every psi plus the free flowing intake and exhaust. Its a riot; next step requires a lot of money ($3000) and you can get 430-500hp depending on what turbo you go with.

Not yet but I'll get some sometime, a 0-60 mph run would be fun, short though at 4.6 seconds!
