I kept note on my MPG's..averaging around 70 mph MPG were around 17.5-18.5. I guess i lost a little putting that dual cat back exhaust on...but it's worth the sound it makes...

So I finally arrive 13.5 hours...later...Backed up to the trailer and lowered the trailer onto the truck.. I did notice a 3-4 inch drop on the tundra...At this point there was nothing i could do about it... So the next day we left for home...

I have owned other trucks before. My last was a F350 Ford turbo deisel..( I rather not comment on that). This Tundra Impressed me so...It towed this 11,000 lb.weight at 70 MPH with no effort.. I didn't even feel it behind me...I averaged 10.5-11.5 MPG..and when I got to those steep hills in Pennsylvania it took them at 55-60 and not one gauge moved off of normal Trans/ water temp. Very Nice ride...
Got any pics of that adventure? Be nice to see for sure bro!
