I want something like steiny when I grow up.
Considering I just received my AARP card in the mail, the chances of me growing up anytime soon are slim.
thx,
we absolutely love the setup
Sorry for hijacking.
Did you buy the HDT already converted or did you have it done? How's the maintenance costs?
we bought it pretty much completed (singled/bed/interior/tires & rims)
we went through and added all the audio/video in the cab, had it relicensed as a motorhome, added an air hitch and had it striped to match our toy hauler
scheduled maintenance isn't bad; just had an oil change done which includes the coolant and fuel filters and it was $255; which is good for 15k miles
unexpected repairs are what can really hurt; like if you need to put in a clutch, do some tranny work etc
Just completed a trip through the badlands, Jackson WY then Yellowstone, so lots of mountains, tons of wind in WY etc. It rarely downshifts and the engine braking is awesome. Over 2500 miles through those hills and such it averaged 9.3mpg.
The negatives are in regards to storage or what to drive when you arrive. If we are sightseeing we'll rent a Jeep or something to bomb around in.
