Found something that gets even worse had mileage than the 80! So far 6.9mpg. Lol
What do you figure is your total gross weight? I bet you weigh 2.5 times as much as the LC also, gas or diesel U-Haul?
Every U-haul I have got was clapped out gas engine. Talk about taking the slow lane everywhere.
^^^ that is my experience with U-Haul a well but it has been more than 20 years since I have rented one so was unsure if they had gotten into diesel haulers since then!

5.4L triton V8, rapped to 4600rpms on the hills holds me at 55mph. Lol
amazed you getting the 6.9 mpg with those rpms! Bright side is you do not need to worry about speeding tickets on the highways on your journey, just watch the little towns!
Might get better millage if you tow the u haul with the LX
I assume you didn't tell them what you were pulling. I had U haul refuse to rent me a trailer for a wrecked Jeep because it had 33" tires.
Good luck on the trip.

I spoke a little too soon, I ended up around 6.3mpg for the close to 1100 mile trip, but I beat the truck
unmercifully. Talking foot to the floor for minutes at a time, I did not pay attention to the 55mph limit that's for sure.
Nope I told them I was towing a '96 LX450, didn't really get into mods. Lol. I just took a longer strap and put it over their wheel basket strap and tightened it down.
But everything made it Ok!

If you ever think an 80 on 35's is pretty good sized move to Moab, neighbor on one side has a dodge pickup on Rockwells and the other has a suburban on one tons. Lol. Good stuff. The neighbor with the Dodge also has two 4runners in his driveway so we might get along. Lol

I talked to the owner when I was in Moab. Nice guy. They were the only 80s I saw in town on that trip.

Pretty amazed none of them are running front bumpers. I might try and swing in and chat with them and find out what they do with the trucks, hell maybe I will sell him mine. Lol

Out goofing off today, lots of fun, but the fun sand runs are terribly washboarded, still kicked the turbo in a couple times and drove up on the banked corners.
