Second, the overall profile of the 2252 makes it easier to tow at
interstate speeds.


I don't tow at "interstate" speeds. I tow between 55 and 60 mph. Easier
on me, easier on the trucks, easier on the fuel tank.


That's right. When I towed my 'new to me' sailboat back 1200 km from
Quebec I stayed at 90km. This was no problem on divided 4 lane highways,
but in some areas of the Trans Canada it was old fashioned two lane
blacktop. Very uncomfortable to see an 18 wheeler grill filling your
rearview mirror as he desperately tries to pass on rough busy road

I tow at freeway speeds. But the limit is 55 in California, and they seem
to ignore 65 on the freeway, as everybody is averaging 10 over anyway. I
drive to Los Angeles at about 80. Truck runs good there, gets good
milage, and sort of like SS Tom, I love speed.


Some clarification, Bill. Do you tow your boat with your truck at 80 mph or
just drive your truck without the boat at 80 mph?
