First big tow

[RBollengier]

I have been hauling my 2000lb RC trailer since I bought the truck with no drama. I just got back from towing my wifes Jeep to the 14th annual VA four wheel drive association Oakridge run and had a great time, both at the park and towing with the truck. Averaged 15 MPG and it only shifted out of overdrive once. And I think that was because I was only going 55. So much easier than my 94 Chevy 2500 gasser. The Chevy had drama at every hill or overpass and got 9-10 MPG. I still can't wipe the grin off my face.

Yep, I hear ya. My 1st 5vr was 24' & was always a challenge at any grade. I bought my CTD & immediately bought a larger, heavier 5vr & found myself constantly accelerating at every incline. My wife asks me, "Why are you speeding up?" & my reply to her is "Because I can!"

Gotta love the power of a Cummins!
