Road trip

Currently 700 miles into a long move and can't be happier with the trucks performance. I am towing a 16' v nose enclosed trailer total truck and trailer weight 14k. I also have a scan gauge installed so I can keep an eye on everything. First day we had a 25-35 mph headwind and keeping it at 60-65 (3k rpm) it got 7 mpg. It did not like that much wind over 65 and it was to squirly when getting passed. Yesterday was a beautiful calm day and keeping it at 65-70 (2.2k rpm) got me 10.5 mpg. We'll see how today goes, climbing to the Colorado front range all day but the wind is supposed to be calm so should be a fairly easy day.
