Not too bad, considering it has 150K on the clock, and was loaded with luggage for a long weekend, and 850lbs+/- of people. Three days is not enough time to really see D.C. We breezed through the Natural History, Library of Congress, American History and Air & Space on Saturday and Monday. Sunday was church at the Basilica of the National Shrine to the Immaculate Conception, then walk through the Mall and monuments, then went to China town for dinner.

We took I-30 through Pennsylvania on the way back on Tuesday. A great road, although the 4.0 V-6 was struggling a bit on some of the big hills. Stopped at the Flight 93 Memorial, which was very well done. If you are in the area, it’s well worth the time to see it. I really wasn’t sure I’d like this big beast of a truck, but it’s growing on me. We’ll see how it handles in the winter, I’m hoping for lots of snow.

I’ve never owned one, but I have spent plenty of days under 4.0 Exploders

Good trucks, all things considered

We had a 1996 5.0/AWD one from 1997 to 2000ish, and it was the vehicle I really learned how to drive in. It was a good family hauler, but a lousy tow vehicle.
