Oh my!!!

As if I wasn't already sold on this truck, my experiences of the last 10 days have absolutely sold me on the D-Max.

1100 miles on I-15 towing a 17' drift boat @ 75 mph on the way to Montana.

About 900 miles in and around Montana. Up and down little mountain roads.

1250 miles on I-15 towing the same boat @ 85 mph on the way home from Montana last night and this morning.

While this is a light boat and tailer, mileage was within a 1 mpg of what I get unloaded at those speeds.

My buddy probably put it best when he said "I would have bet you that there wasn't a trailer back there..."

I was in the South Western corner...

Towns like West Yellowstone, Ennis, Virgina City, Twin Bridges, Dillon, Butte, Wisdom, Wise River, Melrose & Divide.

Fished rivers like the Madison, Beaverhead, Big Hole & Ruby.

So if you saw a white/black/yellow 2001 Clacka tunnel hull... on the water or flying by on the highway... it was me.

Never seen another clacka with that color scheme.
