Trip to Katemcy

[redcagepatrol]

So I got 8.7 mpg with the new Dodge - with only one rig on the trailer!

I guess that's the trade off for these new engines and a bigger back seat

[redcagepatrol]

and a few more

On another side note - that sweet Twisted Customes 4-Seater buggy that Nolan owns was out there. Cool to see in person - I know what I want in the future...

Probably that and the Texas Hill Country doing 70~75... The overhead was averaging 9.5mpg...

Did you have it on the gooseneck?

If so its way taller than the truck unlike on a bumper pull, so that is why coop and JB get good gas mileage?

I bet it opens up after the break-in. Mine was upto about 20-30K before it went from 17 on the hwy to 19 or 20 (sans rigs of course). I get 11-12 with klogger/blazer at 80 with cruise control on the whole way.

I'm sure its taller, but 8.7 still sounds very low.

I had it on my 30' low boy gooseneck. I would've gotten ~9~10 with my old Dodge on 35" tires

Did you guys wheel with this thing, or just see it in camp? Any details?

[redcagepatrol]

just saw it at camp. I saw it wheeling from a distance. Really sweet rig

[Reckless]

[JB]

He was out at 47 for the first run a few months ago.

[redcagepatrol]

Westin was there and introduced himself to me. they were are the completly other side of the campground though (by the pond)

[RCcola55]
