Another trip report...
Well, just got back from our trip up north. We pulled our TT a little over 2100 miles from NC to NY over an 8 day period. Stayed in various places in WV, NY and PA. The truck averaged 11.3 MPG over the 2100 mile trip.
A lot of the towing was in the mountains going through VA, WV and PA. I had the cruise set at 65 MPH for most of the trip. The mountains never seemed to bother the truck at all. It downshifted to 5th gear on most of the uphill grades, 4th on a couple steeper ones. Coming down the other side, the engine braking worked very well. I didn't want to go much more than 60 coming down the grades and the engine brake held it there.
This was the first long trip we took with it and definitely won't be the last. It was very comfortable. Everything on the truck worked like it was supposed to and I have no complaints at all. A little over 5k on the clock now and I still smile when I get in it like I did when I bought it!
