Well this will be the true road test for the new Dodge! Detriot, Michigan to Tampa, Florida.
1200 miles in 18 hours if I'm lucky.
Just wanted to know if anyone had any tips to get the truck ready for a long trip? Thoughts-Ideas-Comments? In the past I have gotten about 20 mpg on highway trips (65 mph) much over that and it goes down fast!

 

Fill it up; leave the snowmobile boots home; take some sunscreen; have a blast.

You don't even have to drive it like you stole it.

 

Hey what he said, just drive it nice and slow. Don't try to do it in 18 hours, enjoy the trip and the weather

 

Might take your wallet out of your pocket and toss it into the cubby at the start, about 4 hrs. into a trip my right cheek gets sore as heck from sitting on it with these seats. Never had that problem with any seat.

 

Redneck, i live across the river from you. If your anything like me, you just want to get there in a hurry just to get out of this crappy weather. Have a safe trip and bring back some sunshine with you.

 

Thanx Fellers, I plan on bringing back a whole truckload of sun shine I will be happy to share!
This Afternoon: Partly cloudy, with a high around 54. Breezy, with a southwest wind between 17 and 20 mph. Currently 61 F
A WEATHERMAN IS THE ONLY JOB YOU CAN HAVE AND BE WRONG 100% OF THE TIME AND STILL HAVE YOUR JOB!!!!
HAPPY AND SAFE NEW YEAR TO ALL

 

redneck- Are you hauling a load of Coors and have a black Trans Am leading the way? Just curious, maybe change your screen name to SnowMan? -Steve

 

 

No that offer was'nt on the table! Thanx for the "s

 

Hey Mike. That's two from Windsor that want ya to bring that sunshine back.
Don't forget it in the hotel room when ya leave.,

 

Hey redneck what set of twins do you have?? Drive safe I used to make the trip from Tacoma WA to concord CA in 10 hours 800 miles wicked trip only eat or use the restroom when you need fuel

 

Dont forget to stop in texarkana and pick up crate # 1 4 4 4 .

 

Give me a diablo sandwich, a Dr. Pepper, and make it quick, I'm in a god-**** hurry.

 

I live in Essex across the river. Pick me up on the way and I will let my wife pay for the fuel. Can't stand the weather although this past week has been nice. Drive safely and watch out for those Smokies.

 

Coors anyone!!! Well I made it back! Sooner than expected cause the crappy weather (didnt want to leave the old lady and kids alone--everytime the wind blows hard the **** power goes out)
The truck did great 20.5 mpg -at 65 mph-
