Where's all those Carolina Rake lovers??.

Made it to FL in 4 fuel stops, no issues, and even outran all the storms.

Traveling with a buddy cut 4hrs off the trip, vs with the wife in a fast car.

Few more days of wiring and testing electronics, then she goes swimming.

We’re you impressed with the way the truck towed?
Actually yes I was. Coming from a 10yr older Dodge, this thing is dream to tow with. Airbags would have made it even better.. We matched Waze calculated arrival time over the 900 miles. Averaged 62.5 mph A to B..

Not so impressed with the 9.8mpg fuel average. Ran it on the 600hp hot tune once we got outa the mountains. And then tried a millage tune in FL, which did pick us up to 11.3mpg. But it wanted to downshift on every overpass. The Hodge Podge SOTF set up these use sure ain't no LBZ dsp5 level of control.

If I could find someone to do me a custom tune with the Dmax mikeage tricks I've learned, probably be a keeper. But the 14.2mpg daily driver aspect of a 6.7L is for the birds.

I towed our camper on the first longish trip a few weeks ago with my 15 PSD. Set it to tow and kept my speed around 65mph and it got 10.5 mpg downshifting on hills like you said. Said F it on the way home and ran the 600hp tune and it got 10.5 mpg at 70-75.
Good trucks but their love affair with gas stations sucks

I’ve been using a 12 6.7 lately and I’ll say the mileage also sucks. It got 10 towing 9k.. but it handled it fine.

Although I wouldn’t say the mileage is much worse than a comparable lml

I would love to be able to come down and get in the way. I hope its smooth sailing when you get her on the water. I'll second that drain plug comment.
