No pictures, but got home, bit of rain on the way back but nothing crazy. I got exactly 10.0mpg round trip, which absolutely blows my mind. And right now diesel here is $3.46/gal, 20c cheaper than 85 octane and 60c cheaper than 91 octane. I was telling someone I didn't need the semi to get good gas mileage, just be in the ball park of what my Tundra got so at least it was the same price to drive (excluding maintenance), but if you equivalate the price of diesel to premium right now the semi is closer to like 12mpg for the Tundra which it's lucky to get unloaded.
As stated before, time will tell how it plays out, but I honestly couldn't be happier with it. It's actually really comfortable and easy to drive (excluding the learning curve of shifting). The biggest thing I would want to change is a quieter interior since at interstate speeds its decently loud, though still quieter than probably half my vehicles. This road trip was a ton of fun, and had a lot of challenges thrown in between the weather, going over the first mountain passes where I actually had to downshift out of 10th, and the most traffic lights and start stops I've done yet going through towns. On the drive home I didn't have any hiccups with shifting, and the thing runs and drives like an absolute champ. It really feels like a big toy that I look forward to driving and modifying and playing with, which really changes the dynamic compared to the Tundra which was always a question of optimizing weight and what should be brought and planning gas stops. Hell I used maybe a 1/4 tank this whole trip driving across the state and back!
It's also cool learning new things. I always gave semis a lot of room and passed them quickly and would flash lights for them to merge and stuff, but it's cool to learn the nuances from now driving one. It's also funny since I look at other trucks and see how they're configured with the cabs and stuff, which before I didn't think about more than if I saw a particularly huge sleeper or cool trailer.
Anyway, I had to make a post since the fuel mileage while hauling a buggy and all the gear on the back is just wild. I thought getting 9mpg was maybe a fluke, and the fact it can get quite a bit better without doing anything special is just icing on the cake!
Next big trip is in a couple weeks going down to our relatives in Arizona we visited on the first trip. Not sure yet what configuration we'll do for Tiny, maybe put the camper on the bed again and then tow either the buggy or can-am. I think I'll replace the shocks, fix some leaky air lines, and probably need to figure out some trailer plug setup.
