Ok, for those who want to know, how many miles? How much def? Avg mpg? Oil / trans temp settled at? Correlation between ambient temp and regens? Ambient temp and any other changes?

That's a great drive. I hope I'm not bugging you but you could provide a lot of info for those that drive around unloaded/no trailer, good baseline figures could be useful to them.

Tuxi

Tux, that is only 1.39 bugs per mile for your big trip.

You must have radar to miss the bugs like that. I must hit that many bugs in one hour and that might be while in park up here in Canada.

70-75 on flat terrain. Any incline killed it but any decline balanced it out
