2500 mile trip

[Jskane125]

Just finished 2500 miles towing a 4,000lb trailer. Pulled great. No real problems towing. 11.4mpg average. Some hills. I switched between premium and regular.

Only issue I had was a recurring fault message on left rv light. Good news, the trailer light check system worked and proved to me it is monitoring the system.
I used some spray designed for electric systems on the power connector on the expy and the trailer power cord. Seemed to calm it down. The trailer does have LED lighting. It started to happen toward the end of they trip again.

I used the Tow Mode the entire time and it does a great job on hills.

Same here. I just drove to Florida and back from Arkansas clocking about 2000 miles. My mpg was around 16 mgp average due to two coolers on the roof. I also got the cam phaser done before the trip and the front passenger engine bay was in smoke when I was in Florida. Luckily, it stopped after a while and I kept checking the transmission temp which was around 218 max in 95 degree weather. I really like the Exp during road trip, it was so comfort that most of my passengers fell asleep lol.

our expy is hands down the best road trip vehicle i’ve ever owned - as a driver, as a passenger, in all weather conditions with the right rubber, everything. even the dog loves it.

I had an Audi Q7 for 14 years that I thought was the best vehicle I ever drove cross country, but my wife complained that it was simply the driver who was having a good time. She was miserable in the passenger seat. Now that we have the Expy and have done four trips over 1000 miles i have to admit, this is one sweet ride. My wife actually fell asleep on a trip to Fort Myers, which is a minor miracle.

My brother and a friend were in the second row for a 600 mile trip and could not stop talking about how comfortable they were. Having never sat back there, it was good to hear those comments.

I am currently on a trip in the mountains of Tennessee and the only complaint is the bobbling. I will be ordering sway bars the second I get home. I have a Thanksgiving Trip to Denver and hope to have them installed before then.

We took two road trip vacations this summer one to Florida with a corgo box on top and 6 passengers and the other to Colorado without the cargo box and 4 passengers.

I have to say it really was a pleasant drive both times. Even with the cargo box and loaded with passengers I got 20mpg on the trip. For both trips I had the front and rear sway bars installed and that was nice.

The 5star tune in the mountains was amazing. The expy never broke a sweat.

could not agree more. These road trips are why I bought this amazing vehicle
