I`m not exactly sure how far that is but it does sounds like making great time.

I don`t know about preppy but I really like driving the 05.
It feels super nice driving down the hiway, it gives me a big smile every time.

Wow!! I can't imagine driving for 14 hours! Must be nice thought when it's a ford and there is a diesel under the hood.

Southern sask does suck to drive in. I love the psd on the highway, tons of power and very comfortable. I cant sit in it for the whole ride and not get sore. Im back in sask till thursday or friday, and Ill actually be in stoon tomorrow, but its a quick there and back trip, to sign some papers.

Even afew hours is long enough to find out if you have comfortable seats or not.
I have a 92 XLT seat in my 71 F350 and I can tell even on short drives how nice it is.
