Default Long trip review 05 Hemi Qcab

4500 miles from SC to WY and back pulling a trailer with around 1500# and a large 4wheeler in the back end over the Smokies (2X), Black Hills (2X) Bighorn Mountains. MPG: 14.8, Wow does this thing pull nice up the big hills! Flawless performance. I did notice a pretty substantial loss in fuel economy through Iowa and South Dakota using 10% ethenol crap. I was averaging 16.1 until reaching the ethenol. Just went down a notch to regular gas on the way back and the MPG came back up. All in all, this is the perfect long distance vehicle. If only gas was reasonable!

My whole family is from the Sheridan area. Yea, ATV, it was great in the mountains! Did a great camping adventure too! Nothing like home! Nothing like the mountains! Took the harley along too and a load of other stuff on the trailer! Yea, there are some "A## Holes out there still too! Stopped for lunch in SD. Upon return, found one of my tiedown straps cut on the bike! Always do a walk-around! Always!!!
