I don't understand why you don't want to use the truck either, thats what a truck is for. You have a Mustang, a 8mpg truck, and a bike that your taking to the track: Your worried about gas mileage. It's just not the decision I would make.

 

You may think it's OK but think about. You have a truck already. Trucks are made to tow. If you are getting 8 mpg towing that bike, your truck has issues that needs to be taken care of. No truck should get that bad of a mileage towing something that small. If you are really that concerned about mileage, get a 1/2 truck w/ an 8' bed and throw the bike in the bed. You should have room for all your other stuff, especially if you install a roof rack. Remember, carrying the load will provide better mileage than towing.

 

mostly just for convenience,trying to get to the track after work....ever try getting anywhere with a crewcab dually, pulling a 20 car hauler...in bumper to bumoer traffic Los Angeles traffic, its a major pain in the *** just to change lanes.....plus parking at work is a major bitch for something that size at my work.

driving 5-10mph while your truck drinks gas...is not real fun.

maybe i will look into a liftgate to get the bike up and into the truck?

 

Or you could buy ramps and roll it up into ther bed? Seems like that would be alot easier.

 

There is a guy that comes to all the autoXs in my area with and early 90s vette that has a hitch for his tire cart. It looks funny but hey it works

 

There are a lot of Miatas, Minis, and other various cars that I know of that run in my region what have hitches for their tire trailer. Those are really cars you can't fit anything in. I could put my tires and stuff in the car if I wanted but with the girlfriend riding shotgun and this pretty perfect leather I've got, I don't wanna that the chance.

 

Somebody close this one down before its leaves a stain
