Road trip performance
Just completed a 800 mile road trip from Norcal to Socal and took some performance notes a long the way.
- 91 Livernois tow tune, Corsa cat back exhaust, rest OEM
- 6" lift 35x12.5 Toyo RT tires
- average 70mph on highway
- Bed loaded with 700lbs, 5 people
- 15-17.5 mpg, depending on AC, hills
- Tire pressure 45 cold, 50 when hot
- ACC - worked well most of the time but did have 2 occurrence where ACC was on and as I was passing a semi truck on the left, and when I was right next to it, brakes were applied hard with cars right behind me. That was enough to shut it off for the rest of the trip.
- Tow/haul mode worked good in hills to hold gears longer and engine braking
- Hellwig sway rear sway bar performed great, no body roll
