Long distance driving?

[WearyMicrobe]

Quick question, how far do you think you could actually drive in 8 hours in a RC on the freeway. Found a truck in the Midwest, figured that I have three weeks of vacation saved up and that I would fly out if it is accepted. Its 1700 miles or so.

Anything that I need to address on the truck in particular for long distance driving.

Just bring an extra quart or 2 of mobil one oil

some cd.s for music

an navi if it dont have one

If you average 80 mph you can go 640 miles...... Simple math.

8 hours will fly by. You'll go past your destination because you'll be enjoying it that much!

dont forget a radar detector

1700 miles should take you about 24 hours straight driving.

I would do it in about 21, and you probably will too because you will be having a difficult time keeping the speedo in the double digits!! :burnout:


BUY IT!! You won't regret it! Very few do...

I drove from Seattle to Bakersfield in a straight shot. Spent a day and then did the same thing returning.

I have done 950 miles in one day. That took about 16 hours. Road trips are fun in these things:burnout:

Good to know, I once drove a Prowler from Michigan to San Diego and I vowed never again. But since I did that a while back my mind has only partial memory of the pain, and the truck seems much more comfortable.

Hopefully I will hear back from the owner on Sunday with his decision.

I bought my truck in Springfield Missouri. Drove to Tucson in 14hrs (1300 miles). I was sopping just about everywhere and taking pictures. The ride was very comfortable and very fun. Enjoy the truck but most importantly be safe!
