First distance tow with new truck!

Towed our camper for the first time last weekend with our new truck. Towed perfect. I still can't believe how great this truck is. Total round trip was around 300 miles towing our camper (6500#s loaded) through a BUNCH of hills and still got 12.5 mpg. Ran up the hills that our other gassers crawled up. <br><br>Click the link in our sig for a few pictures if you have time

Re:First distance tow with new truck!

Little suckers really like to pull, don't they. I am amazed at mine also when I consider I drop close to 16000# behind it and it just takes off. And, the more I tow with it, the better it runs. Wow, it will probably really be great with about 150,000 miles on it.

Good looking truck and RV. Fiver Bob is right, the more you tow, the more your Cumins likes it. <br>Big dawg

Through an Edge EZ on their and you will really be impressed. I had 25,000# hooked up behind mine the other day, it just walked right on down the road
