Notes after an 18 day trip to the Midwest
My wife and I just returned from an 18 day, 3000+ mile trip to the Midwest (we live in Oregon) to help my parents move into assisted living. I wanted to give a SHOUT OUT to two things that made our trip amazing!
1. My Ford F-150 with the 3.5L ecoboost engine. We picked up this truck in March with just 36k miles and this was our first time pulling our 2008 Fleetwood Wilderness. WOW!!!! What a beast! Crossing the Rockies is no small feat and this pickup out-performed my expectations. I was passing people going UPHILL. The smoothness of the way Ford engineered the Cruise control when pulling is nothing short of amazing. My last pickup (a 2005 F-150 5.4L V8) can't hold a candle to what the ecoboost engine can do. Whatever Ford did in this newer design...they got it right for pulling trailers!
2. My wife and I purchased two Honda 2000 watt generator/inverters a few years ago and have used them sporadically, but THIS trip we fired them up almost every day. What a pleasure these generators are to own and use!
I'll have some other posts from our trip coming soon.
