Heading out tomorrow A.M. for Pickwick Landing State Park, TN for a week then on to Little Rock, AR for a few days and then back thru Alabama just hope the fuel prices don't go out of sight. This nice weather sure makes me want to travel. Jim

Jim,
The Dodge pulls it great, I have noticed that the Dodge doesn't down shift like the ford did. Every Time we came to a slight grade, the Ford would always downshift from OD. The Dodge just keeps on going in 6th gear at 1600 RPMs at 62 MPH.
I have noticed if we hit a really bumpy area of road, we get a little bounce, I guess cause of the Timbrens, but it only lasted a few seconds. No bottoming out or anything like that, very comfortable and smooth.

Just got back from a trip through the hill country of Texas and a week in Galveston, felt good to hit the road again.
