Forum Discussion
Have any of you ever towed a 7K TT with a 200 HP diesel? I own a 200 (with exhaust and the pump turned up maybe around 225??) HP diesel and tow a 7K TT with it. In the big hills I get down to less than 30 MPH.
Now I know this thing will have about 40 HP more or so and more gears so maybe around 35 on big hills with a 7K TT. Then add in the extra ton and you're back to less than 30 MPH again. :E
IMHO they will sell quite a few of these things in 1 or 2 years and then word will get out about performance and sales will drop in the toilet unless they turn the HP up.
Like it or not; believe it or not, performance sells in trucks. If not, the Cummins would still be at 175 HP.
It's a new age. People expect to run 60 to 65 MPH up hills fully loaded. People think if your truck drops a gear or two on hills it is struggling. :R
Guess we will see how thing go for this new oil burner.
