So we launched out on our maiden voyage last night... drove from American Fork, UT up to Grace, ID. Just shy of 200 miles, up and down a lot of pretty decent grades.
Of course, being the lime green newbie that I am, I was worried about how the truck was going to handle all that weight. I was a bit white-knuckled, to be honest, just knowing that something truly catastrophic was going to beset us... such is my life.
My truck was not amused at my doubt in its abilities. At one point, when we were cruising miraculously up a rather significant grade at 65, I swear I could see it roll its eyes, and mutter, "Bitch, please." And then it actually sped up a bit just to show off.
We averaged 12.3 miles per gallon... pulling a fully-loaded 5th wheel up and down hills. Wow. Just wow.
