Fantastic trip with the old Gal
Well, after having the ol' gal for a few months, I finally tried her out on a "towing" trip. 1st impression under load is that the 5.7 Hemi is NOT short on umph.. Torque had NO problem pulling right up the mountains of Georgia/North Carolina/Tennessee pulling 2000 lbs of trailer with 2 motorcycles, and loaded to the gills in the rear and still averaged over 2000 miles a very surprising 14.8 mpg. Ride was super smooth, and the only issue I had at all, with my severely outdated GPS map disc, lol.. Evidently there are a bunch of new roads in the last 11 years through the roads of central northern Ga. :D
Just thought she deserved a pic since she made it through Deals Gap's Tail of The Dragon.. sitting at the overlook. I am very pleased and wouldn't hesitate to take her out anywhere.. an 07 with 133K miles. Just thought I'd share a positive post ;-) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...pstaqd4siv.jpg |

Sweet photo and great story! I look forward to doing some road trips with my Aspen...I was actually just talking about doing something 500 miles today.

Great Story.
Aspen
We have an 07 Aspen and what a great SUV.My elderly mother lives in the snow belt and last winter we had a massive storm and all the power was out in her area for 2 days.All the roads were shut down full of snow but I got through to her house because of the Aspen,it was only 55 degrees in her house when I got to her.Great SUV !!!!!! |
I've been thinking about taking a drive to Seattle, WA.....from NYC.
