Thanks to all that contributed to this thread. I took all the advice...and put it to good use. Kept to the speed limit (mostly)...and made the 1400 miles round trip back home. All went well...and my FORD tows like a dream!

Route 66 RVs is a great group. They stayed open late for us on a Friday no less...so that we could still take delivery and keep to our return home schedule.

Left ABQ, NM at 4:00am and arrived in Claremore, OK at 5:30pm. Don't forget we lost an hour going from Mountain Time Zone to Central Time Zone.

Thanks again...
