I hit the road again last Friday. From Little Rock to Cincinnati, 630 miles. The car handled the tow very well. I had the cruise set at about 63 mph the entire way and averaged 18 mpg. I think it only lost a little speed on one hill. Barely felt like I was towing.

 

Nice. Hope you enjoyed the drive.

 

I really did. Fun fun fun.

 

I love road trips...we just took one to Austin From Dallas...not as far as yours but still fun. We took the back roads and still made it in under 4 hrs. Average of 27mpg...no trailer..LOL...at 80mph.

 

rspi your picture brings up the question of how much of a load can we tow with these cars? Glad you had a good trip. I'm still trying to get enough time off work to take a road trip, hopefully up into the Sierras.

 

I have heard of people towing a car with a trailer with no problems (short distance, under 50 miles). This trailer is suppose to weigh about 1,000 lbs, and the stuff I had in it was about 400 lbs. The owners manual says the car can pull 3,500 with no problem. The issue is that it will have braking problems. So they suggest that you use a trailer with brakes when towing over 1,500 lbs.

I had a little brake fade once but not really an issue.

 

In Raleigh NC today. Hope to find a decent pick n pull.

 

head for pennsylvania lol i want a chance to see a t5r in person

 

Safe travels!

 

I thought about PA a few times since my mom and brother are still there.

On my way back to Little Rock now. 750 Miles more than I expected.

 

yea you mentioned Pittsburgh before when we discussed how horrible PA roads are when i cracked my tranny case
