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.

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
