Hey
How many miles per gallon does the 4bt get realistically on side roads, and does the 4bt prove good for towing.:confused:

Hey

The 4BT will pull like no tomorrow. Most diesels are good for that reason. That is why so many people who have big horse trailers or large campers get a diesel. As for fuel econemy I do not have a clue, but I would guess somewhere in the mid teens give or take.
A former zone member had a 4BT, NV4500 and 4:56 gears on top off 38's or 39's I think. He said he got in the low 20's MPG driving it.
That sounds pretty good!:rolleyes:
There are many factors but with proper gearing aond OD (B-series engines like to cruise at 1600-1800 RPMīs) you could probably get mid 20īs on the highway at reasonable speeds. However, there are people who donīt get anywhere near that.
