From what I've read the ProPride hitch head is 200lbs and then add the rest of the parts of this hitch, doesn't that take a big toll on the Tundra's payload?

Also, do all of you put the transmission in Tow/Haul mode. I normally don't but keep it in 5th gear, occasionaly in D if on long level roads.

My MPG, hand calculated, is 11 to 13 mpg at 60mph. 13 was achieved from Lafayette, LA to Mobile, AL, very flat. Most of my longer trips have been in the southeast. When my warning light comes on I can put in about 21 to 22 gals. 250 miles is my safe range at those mpgs but I usually start looking for gas when the level drops to 1/4. I tend to map out fuel stops the night before so I know whats coming up. Gasbuddy is very helpful for planning.

I thought about a larger tank but figured the extra weight would impact payload too much and like above the expense is prohibitive.
