But........"I CAN'T DRIVE 55!!!"
Around the Northeast, if you drive 55 you will surely get rear ended or a ticket! I drive 65-68 and NEVER pass another vehicle!
My truck pulling the big trailer is best at 63.....I'm not passing anyone. Just sitting in the middle lane for hours on end, listening...
This 100 mile loop is my test loop that I've tested many vehicles on. The best I have to compare.
On another forum there was a conversation about small gas and diesel engines and the huge difference in MPG between tiowing and non towing. The RAM 3.0 diesel was discussed at getting nearly 30mpg...
The Toyota handled it fine. No constant shifting and hills were no issue. I teally had to keep looking in the mirror to be sure it was there!
In my 2018 6.4L RAM Hemi pick up, I get 17mpg non towing and 10mpg towing a 20', 7000 pound toy hauler. Nearly the same ratio. (Need to do a test with...
Yesterday I took my new built RTT camping trailer on its first long trip. 50 miles each way. All highway.
The tow vehicle is a 2010 Toyota Venza V6 / 265HP.
Non towing I get 25 mpg ave, day in, day out...cruising highway at 70mph.
With the trailer I got 17 mpg for the entire 100 mile round...

Seems during these winter doldrums, every time I go out into the garage, I find something to modify on my camping trailer or my truck. A modification here, a tweek there, maybe a little paint, or a new dodad........Com'on Springtime!
These campsites you reported on. Are they large enough for a few rigs?
Are you thinking about putting together a guided group ride this early spring? I'd love to join you if you do.
I played around with my All In One diesel heater today.
Built a simple transport case out of plywood
Using some scrap 2X2 aluminum, I raised the heater up a bit. Also added a perforated aluminum heat shield on the bottom...
Then using some copper pipe, I extended the combustion intake and...
Easy...Toyota, Toyota, Toyota.......A no brainer! Reliability, resale, easy to service, aftermarket parts available, great dealer support....
Remember when a couple years ago they replaced entire chassis on the Toyota Tacomas? Do you really think Ford or Chevy would have done that! They would...
After three versions of a hard cover for my Smittybilt RTT, I've decided that it simply isn't going to work out as planned.
I documented all three versions with pictures and videos on my web page and the conclusion.
