Rambleramma is definitely on the route! It is one I've wanted to attend for a long time and it all fell into place to make it this year. I'm getting excited already and the trip is 2 months away!

I'd expect nothing less with that truck. Maybe some of the OTR drivers around here need to have you assist! LOL. Seriously, I know there's no match as far as load pulling, etc. - you'd be able to yank a house clean off its foundation with that truck. I worked with a fellow (who retired 3 years before I did) who had a similar truck and the huge camper he pulled - effortlessly - it was amazing. It was smooth and quiet. We took it to some of our field offices when we needed to handle major network upgrades - because it was so comfortable and actually economical on fuel, too. (of course he grumbled about the new filters and this and that it required - but then he grumbled a lot anyway)

I80 in east Iowa gives truckers a run for their money and tests their engines.........
My previous pickup, the 95 Ford with 351, couldn't keep up the speed limit when towing a car. It might do 55 or 60 if you pushed it hard. This truck wraps up to 5 or 6K and handles it nicely. It appears I may have a place to stay - a little drive away but still even 45 minutes is nothing after an all-day drive. |

If you were for sure coming Bill and needed a convoy to help make the trip easier I would be more than happy to head down through South Dakota and Iowa. I was only changing things up as I've been through the south both ways the past 3 years! Figured I could stop in K-town to go to the museum etc and get some more pictures.
