Drove from California to Oklahoma this last month. The 235 Pulled a 13X6 enclosed trailer with 4800Lbs. Total Weight was 10,000Lbs. Was a fun trip. Took some video. Not much to watch But Im sharing the trip.
Who needs to go fast when you look that good 'getting there'!

Well if i could do the trip again the only thing I would change is adding sway bars. once I got over 55-60 it would start to wonder all over the road.The 3:38 gears pulled just great. Another issue I had was when folks would pass they would all slow down to look. So while trying to be nice and wave I had to keep it between the lines. Was great. Pulled into a few service stations for gas and even being 100+ degrees it would pull the old men out of the stores to look. Was a fun trip. Stopped in Barstow, CA, Williams, AZ, Albuquerque, NM, Amarillo, TX, and Tulsa, OK. Only Thought the engine was dead once when going down a summit and it stalled out due to overspeed. Other then that all was good.
Great video. I made that trip from LA across I40 to I81 to Richmond Va last year this time in a penske truck with a 240Z in the back. I bet you had way more fun than I did. Larry
Was a lot of fun. Had to st at many of gas stations and hear out a few stories on others that had a apache back in the day. But it was a good it. Thank god the old truck made it.
