13 years ago I flew to LA from GA on a one way ticket to buy my almost new Dynasty. Went to a grocery store for some food and parked the right side on a line so I could put a small black arrow in the bottom of the windshield for the edge of the road location. It is easy to oversteer a long wheelbase vehicle and looking further out than normal helps. On a windy day I still have to remember to give steering inputs a little more time to take affect.
The next morning I had to call the seller to find out how to turn the Jake Brake on...it's turned on by a left foot switch which I really like as it lets you coast without it coming on when you take your foot off the go (not gas) pedal.
Of the small amount of tools I took, only air pressure gauge and the IR temp gun got used. The IR to check the tire/brakes/wheel bearings temps and the beer. 2200 miles and 36 hours later I knew I'd made a good choice in what to buy. 13 years and 80K miles later I still love driving it and hope to be able to use it for another 13+ years.
