Badmoon I took the truck and trailer for a quick spin tonight. We loaded up the wife, trailer and both dogs and I went up a fairly steep grade on the freeway. No problem accelerating up to 75 mph or more if you wanted to. Trailer did not try to control the truck in any way shape or form. Old truck did fairly well but some corners made my butt pucker a bit. It had pretty good power but the suspension and handling was nothing compared to this dually. GCVWR compared from truck to truck is not even close. The difference in eighteen years technology in engines and the suspension is night and day. I still like my old truck but know that the new one is going to make me smile even more.
I will go up and over White Pass and see if I am still happy, I pretty sure that I will still be smiling. I need to learn how to operate the exhaust brake a bit better and I am a slow learner but I will figure it out.
