Well technically I guess I did this yesterday...but 666 mile road trip from Houma Louisiana to Tarpon Springs Florida. I really dont like that mileage lol. Apparently California is somewhere on the road from Louisiana to Florida lol. Car fire on I-10, resulted in the interstate turning into a parking lot for about 40 min. Turns out it was a Corvette. The foggy Mobile skyline.

2nd oil change. amazing how much cleaner and easier it is after you learn the little tricks. I installed a fumoto valve last time, which is amazing, and just cracking the filter so it drips right thru skid plate 'square'. used about 100 less paper towels 
also, filled up (19 gal) for $37 (1.99/gal)

Got back from visiting family in NYC early this morning. First road trip with the truck and here are my results:
I reset the trip about 2 or 3 hours into the drive and let it run until I was back in my driveway. On the way down the truck was reporting 13.5 - 14.3 L/100 kms (16.5 - 17.4 mpg) @ ~80 mph. Overall average was 15.3 L/100 kms which is about the same number in mpg.
My mom and sis loved the comfort and space of the truck. The only things I found that got mildly tiresome after several hours was the wind noise (not sure if it's the window deflectors) and road noise from the Duratracs. Around town I don't even notice it but on a long trip it starts to give me a slight headache.
