Default Re: Things I should Know-long trip planned

Get the best AAA coverage for towing miles. I have RV and motorcycle, the latter I have. Also get some tow straps after reading this thread.
There will be a lot of climbing so I'd be happier with the 3:54 gearing.

Thanks Glenn, good read and a good point worth noting for sure, ok I think 3.54 s might be a good choice with the low hp and torque . Is going down the hwy at 60 mph feasible for the combination ?
Thanks
