Pulling a tent trailer from CA to Arkansas with D1

[4estjp]

Everything is pretty much ready...I changed all the fluids and had the radiator rodded. I am a little anxious because we have only had the 98 LR D1 for about a month and I am not familiar with all its querks. Any noises or conditions to watch out for?

We were going to use our Jeep Commander, but my wife totalled it last week. So I had to go the back up plan.

Sounds like you're good to go. Did you get the trailer wire adapter?

 

[4estjp]

got it

Weight of trailer?

1300 lbs and it has surge brakes.

Light trailer. Enjoy the trip.

You won't even notice it back there. I tow my 2000lbs boat/trailer combo with my DII all the time and she pulls it just fine

Ya, but IIRC he is running a 3.9l not a 4.0 Bosch like yours.

'98 = 4.0 gems
