Decided it was time to get one of these. It looks great and it's functional too!

My 2023 Honda Monkey lives in the back and goes wherever I go. I've also towed my Fiat and my son's rally car from time to time.

Not sure, but I'm guessing 8-9 based on rough calculations during the 560 mile trip home with it. We are upgrading from a Ford E350 with the V10 which returned 11-12 so it's not that big of a drop.
