thenew 2014 Ford F150 Ecoboost Lariat 4x4 handles this huge trailer like a champ. It rarely went past 3500rpm and stayed under 2,000 for most of the trip. Might not be huge to you but 26 feet is bigger than anything i have ever owned. Just to clarify, i did NOT mean to take 100 gallons of fresh water with me over the mountain. The dealership filled it to the top during inspection and forgot to tell me it was full. Normally i would fill up only a little bit and the rest when i get a lot closer to the destination to save weight. I have a 40 gallon fuel station that i only took 20 gallons up until the last town and filled it the rest of the way. So at some point, i was driving with 100 gallons of fresh water and 50 total gallons of fuel, plus a full tank on the F150 as well. It did great! Anyhow, i have lots more video from Sand Mountain coming up!

Have you ever seen what happens when one gets loose on you at 70+mph?

I have and it's not pretty.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

i can imagine. Before i got the sway bar dialed in and all the tire pressure correct, it was sketchy as soon as i hit 60. But now it's solid but i will stay under 65 no doubt. I can live with 64.5559489487 mph just fine. haha

Those twin turbo's im sure help keep the MPG's up in the mountains vs a V8

i think the mileage is comparable but the performance is better. The mileage is better without a trailer of course BUT the Turbo's are really hard to leave alone which does not help the situation. :D It's a fun truck to drive for sure. Plus there is some easy tuning i can do to it for some nice gains (from what i hear).
