Who is high mileage towing?

[twhaslet]

I have an 05 Dodge with 5.9 Cummins, over 250K miles and tow my 9K travel trailer all the time. Most trips are from TX to CO. Some to SC. I service and maintain mine. I don't hesitate to take it anywhere. Plan on taking it to Alaska next summer for a 3 month trip. I guess it boils down to how much confidence you have in the truck. Mine has never let me down.

I can also maintain speed on the interstate with the rental trucks The old 5.4 slows down as soon as it smells a hill within 50 miles. I'm getting passed by fully loaded 18 wheelers! Rental trucks have no problem running the speed rating of the tires all day.

$600 2 or 3 times a year is cheaper than a new truck.

With that said, I do use my truck for trips under 100 miles away.

Meh I bought the truck for a reason. I pickup the gooseneck Monday. I'd rather own and use what I own.

I was in an accident that totaled my last one so this truck I've had since December. I bought it for the bay home. Mostly tows boats. I put a 70 gal tank in the back so I can pickup ethanol free gas to run in the boats and UTV.
