Yep Acushent MA.
Going rt 81 to rt 84 to avoid NY and NJ pike and DC belt way etc. A few more miles but much easier non stressful ride.

I've done my share of trips on the Bronks thruway, Geo Wash, NJ TP. Every summer we would go to KY to see my Grandparents.

Safe travels, where in FL?

Beautiful rig BTW.

We arrived in Port Charlotte around 1:30 pm Sunday. Took us over 30 hours to make the trip. Beautiful canal home we rented. No problems on the way down. Truck and trailer ran perfect. Wish the Tundra had a bigger gas tank. Now to relax and start vacation.

Glad your trip was good! How does that Tundra handle the V20? I just bought a 2016 Crewmax 4x4 TRD 5.7 Tundra, haven't hooked it to the V yet. Cant wait to give it a pull. I know its gonna do well, except for the gas milage!

Great new's!! Hope the rest of your trip is as Great!!

Thanks Joe.

cfelton,
Our truck has the 4.6 and it did the tow without issue. However it did pull hard in the mountains. The 5.7 will tow the V with easy. You are correct about the gas mileage. We got about 9 mpg towing. We could only get 200 miles out of a tank before the fuel light would come on. Before I bought the truck I did some research on the toyota/lexus V8 and there are some reports of the engines going 750k before rebuild. I'm sure they were fleet vehicles and I can't prove anything I read online. Good luck with your new Tundra.






Down near Cabbage key

That is a beautiful Rig!!! Shes a looker!!!! I wouldn't think the tundra would have any issues. I see you do all your own sewing.. where did you learn? trial/error?? Do you use an industrial machine?? I think we should do a northeast meet. I would love to see other rigs .. get ideas and enjoy the beauty of the V's. This is my second year of owning a 86 V.. i have done a lot of work.. lots more to do..
