700 mile road trip

Took the family up into Canada over the weekend. Drove around Vancouver for two days, then stopped in Seattle on the way back. Did the entire trip on a single tank of gas. Truck was flawless.

how many gallons did you fill up with? Did you still have plenty in reserve (beyond the EST 16 DTE)?

Great pics and amazing gas mileage on that 2.7! Happy to have someone post that's actually happy with their truck. So many negative posts (including my own) that it's depressing at times to read them. Glad your truck is doing what it should be doing...

Do you have the 36 gallon tank?

You drove through my neck of the woods. My wife loves Pike Place.

I'm not too far from where you live and I may need to try this one day (need to get passport for everyone but me). Not sure if I'll get that on my 3.5 (hauling 4 plus the dog) but that drive sounds so much fun! Glad you guys had a great and safe trip!

Family road trip, good job!

My sister lives up in Van so I go up their all the time, I was happy as a clam to drive up there, cruise all over the place while there, then drive home all on one tank of gas with my 36 gl 2.7.

My grown daughter recently borrowed my rig to go up there to visit my sister, her aunt, with her friends for a weekend. She was also happy as a clam to not have to stop to fill my rig up during the weekend.

I wasn't looking for a 36 gl tank but it came with my rig, now I'm hooked on them.
