Don't forget to extend your mirrors all the way out like the Ram drivers do.

worst part is, you could have probably blown both tires, ripped off the axle, and never noticed till you stopped for coffee.

Exclamation

I presume you conservatively completed all break-in procedures before this big tow, and that you then changed the engine oil and filter immediately after reaching your destination? Any problems with ATF temperature?

Safe travels!
