My first adventure!!
Ive never done this before. I purchased a 01 7.3 2wd X that was 1200 miles from my house. Site unseen in person but I did send someone to look at it first. I flew last night to pick it up and today I took it for its first 1200 miles adventure. Well to tell you I have been impressed is an understatement. It is a monster!!! A beast!!! And I can't wait until my 30ft travel trailer is resting comfortably behind it. At 75 80 mph I was getting 20+ mpg!!!!! Holy cow!!! Well I guess you can say I'm happy with my king of all suv's!!!!

I have a lot to learn before I start to mod! First thing on the list is new mirrors! I hate those little mirrors.

Downhill in a hurricane.
OMFG, I bet you were using the Lie-O-Meter.
Take a breath, run three tanks of fuel then hand calculate.

I can get 20mpg at 60 mph on the highway on a long trip. Never came close to that doing 75. Hand calculated.

I did not calculate by hand I'll do that next time. As far as down hill there were no hills to drive the whole trip was mostly flat
