    if you're going to do any type of true towing back n forth to some of these races you need a diesel....any single rear 2500/f250 will do...i would personally go with the dodge or cheby right now due to the fords suck at mpg...but all are good at mods and programmers/exhaust and all that good stuff

    Well you would be putting the car ON the trailer not IN. I know what my MPG is, I know how to divide. Simple as that.
