Dude......That looks amazing. Makes it hard to keep the SUV for certain.
Didn't compute that you were back.
I feel like I read something about you being back from Rio, but for some reason the picture of the truck/boat really solidified it for me.
I usually don’t either… this has been my dream truck for years. The admiral is over the moon that it finally showed up. She no longer has to hear me whine about how long it is taking to get it. ?
That's definitely a good size trailer. Why do you tow so fast? Aren't those standard trailer tires? Most of them are only rated for 65mph. If one of those would have blown going 80 it could have been bad. If 2 had blown at the same time you could have kissed the trailer goodbye. I know you have lots of towing time under your belt so I know you know what you are doing. I generally tow around 65-70 depending on road and traffic conditions. The closer I can keep it at 65 towing our camper the better mileage I get. Towing the boat my limiting factor is the tires and the cover.
Temps were in the low 60’s and stopping every couple of hours for fuel the tires never had continuous heat build up. While fueling I’d do my walk around and the bearings & tires were always cool to the touch. I thought about blowouts and every scenario that I could and was prepared accordingly.
