Left on a Wednesday came back the following Thursday. Left on the next Sunday came back today Thursday. For just under 800 miles of road and great family time camping in the RV.

Just can’t say enough of towing with the 2500.

First trip to Southern Oregon going over the Willamette pass with a 6 mile long hill. The Avy’s Trans at 220 and the engine was at 210 at the top. Great ride and smoothed right out.

The next was off to Long Beach Washington. Went up the Washington side of the Columbia river. What a mistake swore I saw air under the trailer it had so many dips. Had not been that way in 25 years. Came back on the Oregon side what a breeze. I used 27 gallons going and a half tank coming home. I have not refueled yet.

I miss the 1500 but the 2500 is the mule I need.
 
With 4.10 gears they are very of capable hauling a bunch of things. I'm still in love with mine and don't mind paying for the maintenance parts.
 
MS03 lower on the bucket list still up in the air about 4.56 gears defiantly at least 4.10's. Being now it's a mule.
I'm not in a hurry to get anywhere just a steady pull up the mountain. and I do a lot of mountain
climbing. Nice to hear from you it's been sometime. :cheers:
