What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Its a KZ sportsmen classic 191BHK, total length was 22 foot, weight loaded was a little over 4000lbs (truck had 2 adults and 2 kids plus a bunch of gear so another 1000lbs or so). With no wind the thing towed great in 4th gear 70-75 mph with 7-8 mpg. With a 30 mph cross wind we were towing at 55 but had to stay in 3rd gear.

 

I will be around 6900lbs so a little over capacity but only going 40 miles. Speed limit is only 55 so I should be ok?

 

You should be good, aerodynamics I feel is a bigger issue than weight when it comes to towing. Just slow down early and keep it in lower gears.

 

I'd want a full size truck/suv for towing that much. How was stopping?

 

Went and filled up my tank. The gauge says I can only go 251 miles. That can't be right when others get 300 plus. Any ideas what's going on guys.

 

Took it to 88 rotors yesterday. They did a great job! Definitely glad I got the trd off-road. Now it’s way more capable and still cheaper than the pro!

Couldn't agree more! Good looking rig

The iPhone lightning port will collect a lot of stuff over time. I keep mine in my pocket, and find a lot of lint gets into the port. Use a toothpick (flat ones work best) and gently clean the crud from the connector opening. Blow out any remaining stuff when done. After that lightning cables should fit just fine and your iPhone should charge nicely with the cable.

I bought short a (6") right-angle usb-lightning cable from Amazon which allows the phone to sit on the charger (might as well use it for something) while I drive. Also, I bought a right-angle USB adapter that allows the cable to go straight down from the dash. Yeah, not wireless, but then my iPhone stays charged while I'm driving. It does have a big down side of staying in the Taco when I forget to unplug it and put it back in my pocket.

How much battery does your wireless setup use from the iPhone over time? I would worry about it discharging too much over a long drive. Otherwise, I really like your solution!

 

Clean air, fuel and spark.

 

Not sure about @5nahalf but I'll have trailer brakes.

 

I had trailer brakes on mine, I had to dial back the braking power though as I was smoking the trailers drums going down the mountains.

 

I have the same issue. My 2021 DCSB shows 265 to empty, but my 2017 SR5 4x2 would show 365 to empty when full . Is the 4x4 OR different?

 

Drove 500 miles today on day 1 of a 1600+ mile voyage from Dallas to Boise, Idaho. Moving is such fun….NOT
Loaded it down pretty heavy and averaged around 18 mpg. Pretty sure I did better pre-tune (KDMAX) the last time we did this type of trip but there was also a lot of head winds today. We’ll see what tomorrow brings.

 

Best to you on your journey.

 

My 2016 Sport rwd was always great on gas, though low on power, and 90% of the time it showed 416 miles to go after a fill up. Every once in a while it showed 385 to go. On trips, including from the east coast to the Blue Ridge mountains, I consistently got 23 to 25 mpg. Never had a tune.

 

Very, very cool! Looks like everyone had a great time! Memories that will last a lifetime!

 

I see sheets of HDPE that may work for less than half on Amazon. And have a router
