Just Letting You Know

Just wanted everybody to know that my wife and I started our cross-country trip out in El Cajon, Ca and all the way out to SW Virginia at 2000 RPM and 65mph we averaged 15.2 miles per gallon. I could never even feel the load behind me and trust me, ya'll, I had her weighed...truck, new bumpers (which I will have pictures of directly) and trailer loaded down weighed 14,714...I don't have the slips unfortunatly...but ya'll don't know how happy I am pulling 7K and getting that sort of mileage...like I said, I'll show ya'll pics of the truck ASAP!

That's excellent considering the weight.

Nice!

The more I haul with mine, the more it seems to like dragging weight! Although the >110F weather we have had lately seems to push ALL the temps a little higher. Oh, well. The price of mellow winters, I guess.
