First real trip

First real trip with new truck,pulled like it wasn't even there.The trip was 239 miles from Long Island NY to Northumberman Pa, truck averaged 9.1 mpg. I think that's pretty good for The 6.2 v8 with 3.73 gearing.The trailer is about 8.5k loaded.

I noticed you don't have any rear end sag. Is the weight distribution hitch taking care of that or did you add springs or anything?

It's all taken care of by the hitch. It's an Equal-I-zer 4 point sway.Truck is stock F350... the tech at Equalizer helped big time.....
