Me personally, I really enjoy that part of a trip. I like to hear my truck work, and I have a standard, so that makes it more of an interactive experience. I can’t stop fiddling with things, so every trip I think about something new I want to try, or something to add to the truck. I just added an EGT and boost gauge and new tires to my truck, so this trip will be about what temps I am actually running, and to see how the new tires do; maybe before my next trip I will install a tuner.So for those of you that enjoy that part of a trip, what do you enjoy most?

I love towing a trailer or driving a motorhome... whichever I have at the time.. I enjoy the scenery and driving as much as the destination.

It depends on what I am towing with on whether or not I am enjoying it. I never enjoyed it all too much when my foot was to the floor not going anywhere fast with the engine screaming at 5k rpms and the transmission constantly shifting. Especially if I was stuck behind a big truck on the two lane roads around here because I don't have enough power to pass. It is much more enjoyable in a truck that can pull at lower rpms with a little more throttle when needed.

I too enjoy the trip and the driving and letting the trucks do their work.it's all a part of the RVing package.

I love towing. I really enjoy it. So much so that I’m putting a hitch on my Fusion so that I can tow a small utility trailer.

Nah, love motorcycling, but towing is a chore to be done until we get where we're going. Kind of like driving a car, just another chore.

It's interesting that I have not heard of this discussed before, but it's true that, for me, towing the fifth-wheel is a definite pleasure. The extra alertness and awareness that are needed at all times have the effect of enhancing the enjoyment of driving.

Going from A to B without any problems and then going from B to A without any problems.

Overall I enjoy the drive. I have backed down a lot from my younger days when it was "just get there as quick as possible." I have learned to slow down,relax, and try to keep it under 300 miles a day. Still don't like going through major metro areas, but I try to time it to miss the rush hours.
