I drove my Dodge from LA to VA Beach two weeks ago with every thing I owned in the bed and cab, including my 94 Ninja ZX6. BTW I also flat towed a 3100 pound 2003 Huyndai Tiburon that was loaded to the gill with more stuff.

The trip started with me driving from LA to Riverside after a stop for smokes I walk out and see a puddle of coolant under my truck coming from
the T-stat housing (I had just replaced the T-stat). After running mili-meters under red in temp for the next two hours, I replace the radiator and gasket in Riverside. Left Riverside and drove into Phoenix for the night. Leaving Phoenix I had to do a 100 mile 7000ft climb, at a blistering speed of 35mph. Luckily the rest of the trip was mostly flat.

In New Mexico.



Some where outside Texas.

 

glad you made it okay....how much fuel did you end up using?

 

All together I think I stopped at least 8 times for gas, not evey time was a full fill up, If I had around half a tank when I had to stop for pee or smokes I filled it. I averaged a little over 300 to a tank.

I drove mostly at night, due to cooler temps, less traffic, and the car I was towing had no legal plates on it.

 

thats not bad for a cross country trip like that

 

Yeah I was surprised about the mileage I got considering how much time I spent around 3k rpm and with OD turned off.

 

Sounds like quite a trip.
