Re: Route assistance Seattle to Grand Forks, ND
I heard about the NE entrance. I wasn't sure about the eastern entrance proper as I remember it as a long slog too. Maybe it's not as steep? If they do it right they should be going out the east entrance heading downhill to Cody. Good to know about 14. I do appreciate that!113Views0likes0CommentsRe: Anybody regret buying too much truck?
Yes and no...I bought a 2004 2500 burb with the 8.1l. I haven't trailered it yet but I'm wondering if I could've gotten along with the 6.0l. I know there's no replacement for displacement. I moved to this from the good old 6.5 diesel burb and am getting 2/3 the mileage (was expecting close to the same not towing) but I bet the towing will be great (can't afford a Duraburb). You are right Norsky, it is a hobby fine tuning your rig to help it be at its best when you need it (no one other than you will understand this obsession). And yes, it is a daily driver but I'm going to get that solved by getting another minivan (both my burb and minivan died within two weeks of each other in Feb). But I love the power (buwahahaha!!) For me, it is brad nailing with a sledge hammer. I just can't bring myself to buying just what I need (1/2 ton, 2wd, smaller motor, better mileage). I like to know it will out perform the inevitable challenges (we call them adventures) that seem to follow me whence I go...but that little thing sits in the back of your head "you shoulda bought different", it's hard to get past that sometimes.352Views0likes0CommentsRoute assistance Seattle to Grand Forks, ND
I need a little route assistance getting my friends from Seattle to Grand Forks, ND. The plan is to run through Yellowstone and Mt Rushmore on their way. I need to know what routes to avoid for towing purposes. The TV is a 2000 Ford Expy w/tow pkg and the 5.4l and a 20' trailer (4180lbs mostly loaded). All checks out weight wise easily. They are new to it and I haven't trailered out that way. I know there are passes that can't be avoided but there may be some spots that are less than desirable. I really appreciate your help!587Views0likes2Comments
