On the way back I had to down shift to 3rd or even 2nd on the down hills. Heading up Vail pass, elevation 10,603 ft, the truck was able to maintain 60 mph. That’s a little slower than most cars, but I am happy considering I was towing a few thousand pounds. Over all I am pretty happy with the performance and it was a lot more comfortable than driving the jeep. I only checked the gas mileage on one tank and figured it to be around 10mpg.

That second picture could scare the hell out of you if you forgot it was there and took a quick glance!! lol
