Fuel milage might be a shocker. Oh and the turn radius is a little bit more. Good luck.
Please read up on towing with your new truck in the mountains. I’m only saying this because you said it’s your first time towing.
I wish I had saved a somewhat recent post about someone in your shoes who was new to their truck and new to towing downhill. Can anyone else remember this recent post?
They tried to rely just on their brakes going down long mountain roads and nearly had tragic results. Panicking with the pedal to the floor, smoke billowing out of their brakes but the weight of the rig kept them going downhill! They destroyed their brakes but luckily were able to stop somewhere and get it fixed.
Remember that you can (and should) let the engine do a lot of the downhill work by shifting into lower gears. Please save yourself the stress, money and most of all the danger. Your truck’s manual might have enough info.
Be safe and I hope you love your new rig!
You got all that for a Prius!?‽????
I am a truck driver and i don’t want something that long
Nice rig. That monster won’t fit in many campgrounds so I assume you will be doing RV parks.
You’re not going home so you might as well go big
Holy cow, when you go in you go all the way in. Drives exactly like the Prius, right? Same gas mileage, too!
