OP here. Well we leave this morning on our first long trip. Almost 3 weeks and probably 2500 miles or so. Not towing anything this time. Hellwig is backed up (backordered) so was only able to put the new steering damper on, but not the rear swaybar. But did get a lot of other interior stuff completed and figured out the proper tire pressure based on the weight. Was lower than I figured it would be.
We plan on using non-interstate roads for about 50% of the trip. I'll fill up first so I can see what our gas mileage is for the entire trip and when we're back I'll post. Anyone have an idea of the longevity of the Ford V10 Triton engine? Our has about 84k and runs great so far.
