I have read that in Europe they have a different way of figuring the town limit and that sets it higher. A more realistic amount. Like my Liberty is rated to tow 5,000 pounds but in Europe it is a lot higher, how much I don't remember.

We have a 172, we pull it with a 2007 Chev Trailblazer with a 6cyl. We installed a sway bar on it. I'm thinking it will get around 12 mpg. That is what we got with our last camper, which was about the same size and weight.

It just dawned on me. I think I was at Couchs when you picked yours up. Is the Forerunner silver?

We plan on pulling the RP-172 with our 2003 Jeep Liberty Sport 4x4. Do you know what what the recommended procedure is for towing? What I mean is that we formerly had a Lorado which had a special button to deactivate overdrive. So far, I have not located such a button the Liberty. Am wondering if I need to keep it in 2nd gear instead of Drive. If you or any other Liberty owners knows the answer, I would appreciate hearing from you.

On my 2002 Jeep Liberty the overdrive switch is on the gear shifter.

We started out pulling our 175 with a Toyota Highlander V6 4 wheel drive. It was really straining and gas mileage went to 10 MPG. Just upgraded to a Ford 150. Not a problem now!

Thank you, very much. I never noticed the button, and I cannot find the manual. That is great!

Wow. It is V-6. We did 296 Miles away for one way we camped. No problem. Just little hard to climb up to the hill. We highly recommend Weight Distribution Hitch, otherwise your truck will have lots of bounce going over any bumps, and will sway alot in the wind. ---David and Chieko
