Or I could say I went 1000 miles and only used a half tank. Sorry! Just thought you might want to see why I bought my XB. This box makes a great "Toad" (That's what a tow vehicle is called) At 2500 lbs you can't even tell it's behind you. I have to keep the camera on just for peace of mind. The mount I used is from Blue Ox. What I liked about this one is that when you take everything off, you can't see the mounts on the car so no one knows it's a tow car. After I bought it, it has become my daily driver. I've added Kosei racing wheels and an Injen short ram. With the 2.0 exhaust it really sounds great and is a kick in the pants to drive. Going through different RV parks where the average age seems to be 120 or so (I'm 44), it gets lots of stares, smurks and smiles. Actually that's all the time! Hope the pics come through.

 

OMG! 6 MPG! You're nuts, hopefully you didn't have to go that far but at least you got good MPG driving the xB when you got to your destination.

So you *are* planning on painting your RV solar yellow *right*? That would be soooo obnoxious but better than painting the xB to match the RV eh?

 

i just drove up to exposed (1132 Miles) Cost 80.89 in gas at 2.59 a gallon which made me average 35 mpg very pleased (oh yeah and its a auto trans)

 

hahaha!!! i was thinking the same thing. matching the xB with the RV will look so cool!

nice pics.

 

Geez, you guys are nuts... haha I was thinking that too.

This is definitely one time when the xB's lack of aerodynamics won't affect it...

 

Have you tried it the other way around? As long as your destination is down hill you might be able to save a few bux on gas. O'course you'll need to beef up the brakes a bit......

 

(coughed up coffee all over the screen) then

 

I like the Kosei K1s on there, that looks pretty nice!!!

 

Put transfercase in neut, i am sure towing the xb is a bad idea front wheel drive will get messed up. Even a jeep you should disconnect the driveshafts something to do with oiling parts?

 

very kool

 

Must have a supercharger to push that big RV around.

No problem towing a front wheel drive as long as it is a manual trans. Only advise is to start the engine every 300 miles or so to lubricate the drivetrain.

 

with the money you have tied up in the set up, why not just spend another $5k or so and get a trailer (probably cheaper, but I'd buy larger than I needed)?

 

sorry if I sound stupid but, is there an oil pump in the tranny? I mean why to crank up the engine every couple of miles to lubricate the tranny. first time I heard about it but
I'm no mechanic either.

 

no there is not however there is a kit that you buy to be able to tow them!

What the kit does i dont know but i will find out for you!!

 

wow!

 

Wow, thats awesome. most toads I see are saturns, just because they're literally made to be towed on all four. this is kinda cool.

 

Nice rigs!!

 

Definately need to paint the RV to match.

 

Kudos! Glad to see your not worried about the 'PC' crowd attacking.

TheWife was camping at a relatively local dog show a while back. We have a class-C. I commuted back and forth a couple of days.
As the crowd abated on Sunday I really thought about positioning the CAMO box for a nose to nose photo. Similar to the Chevy 'sibling rivalry' piece.
I was going to caption it 'when I grow up....' The difference is, the xB and the class-Cs actually look a little bit alike.
