Default Loaded NYC to Columbus, Ohio


Did the Trip I have typed about a few times. The Dodge ran like a champ 600 miles 12 solid hours.Towing over 4000 pounds & a full load inthe bed. NO problems at all. I was loaded heavy and was worried about the mountains through PA. One mountain the truck was showing 4000 rpm & 50 mph, took nearly a quarter tank to get up the bad boy. OF course no overdrive the whole way but I did get nearly 10 miles to the gallon. Gave my Ram a big kiss on the grill when we got to Columbus.

Just an old guy in Ohio.

Damn good gas mileage man. Also for future reference if u would've gotten in an accident the uhaul insurance would not have covered u b/c the car was backed onto the auto transport. like i said just a heads up if u plan on making the trip again.
