Jim,
Congratulations on the new truck ...it is beautiful. I make
the very same run you have described and would have to be honest
in saying it is not enjoyable....but doable. Please post the
update as to your first run up the grade... (and down the grade).
Did you buy here in Phoenix metroplex or in Tucson ? Special order
or found on lot (rare on lot in my neighborhood). Any negotiation
wiggle room or dealer firm ?
I too am closing in on retirement and am in the cup-of-coffee phase
on considering a new TV....being a cheap so-n-so the 50-60 k price
range gives me indigestion. A recent trip out to Ca. via Palm Springs
route was a very pleasant pull in my 03', so the Princess thinks why
mess with success.... truth be told, I'm that guy that sets the cruise
control on 55 and when I get there I get there.... so mebbe speed
up the slope is not high on my priority list (just thinking
out loud). My current gas lover pulls nicely....but has 10 years of
pulling on its odometer...decisions-decisions.
At any rate, please post the update when you get a chance.
Thanks
Charles
