Take 1 4880lb Dak (without driver and passenger), add 1 U-Haul car
trailer, and top it off with a sweet looking '70 Chevy 1/2 ton long bed
which had 2 rods playing peek-a-boo from the block. Oops, I think I
kinda sorda went a bit over the limit, but none the less, she handled
the 30 mile trip well. Over hills, with the a/c on, and it being 100*
here today, I was very impressed!! Even though she squatted down pretty
good, I'm glad I put the ES-9000's on, it made the handling that much
better!! Freeway speeds were confident. No real sway from the pos U-Haul
trailer. The 4.7 pulled real nice, but I noticed that it has a sweet
spot from 3000rpm's on, and below that, well, let's just say that I had
to drop it down a gear to pull some hills. But, I won't be doing this
very often so this will be a rare occorance, but had to brag a bit,
lol!!
