That is almost expected on I-40 west of Wilmington, NC.... otherwise you'll get run over. Then I suppose I'd be a traffic hazard, since I would not tow a boat that fast. Now you know why, except for my son's G3.... I don't tow..... I go the speed limit usually. But then, I've hauled much larger and heavier things than my bass boat. I found myself moving along pretty good this weekend a couple of times coming home from Maine... My liberty gets **** for mileage. My new Dodge truck doesn't do too bad, but could be better especially when towing. It's got the tow package, so the rear end is geared a little lower and that doesn't help unless you are going slow. This was not on the interstae but on US27 passing thru places every 10 minutes where I'd have to slow to 35. I expect on the Interstate with cruise control at 60 mph, I would do better. That's one thing I never, ever been able to get used to, is cruise control. *I* need to be in control, for whatever reason. I also love to fly, and always wondered that if I was ever to fly a plane with autopilot how I'd handle that!!!! I love my cruise control, leaves me to concentrate on more important things like beer and bull****... I just can't do it. I've tried. My new truck has cruise. I only use it once in awhile to make sure it still works. Speaking of beer, my robust porter that I brewed awhile back is the bomb! ROBUST!?? A Porter isn't "robust" enough? ![]() And actually, porters can go from malty, to hoppy and everything in between! |
