I finished my 51 6400 a couple of months ago and took her for a 1800 mile test drive. The family and I went to the California central coast from arizona by way of New mexico, Utah and Nevada. Mind you that this was all with a 28ft 1967 silver streak travel trailor in tow. Below sea leavle to over 9000ft in elivation with no major problems. I have some pics, and as soon as I figure out how to get the into the computer I will post them.

Sounds like a great drive!
Two years ago I took my 52 1 ton on a 8,000 mile test drive. I enjoyed the part you just did. Especially the Nevada and into CA part.
And at 50 MPH you can see lots of scenery...

Well beside is a better word.

We saw the Grand Canyon and I am pretty sure we went over every pass in the west since we stayed off of the interstates as much as posible. It was hot and slow but very fun none the less. we went to the petrefied forest and a bus load of french people got out and gathered around my rig and were shooting pics so I got a pic of them gathering around with cameras poised, glory shot ya know.
