Tyler and I took the Jeep to the North East Kingdom Memorial Day weekend. More specifically East Burke, VT and the Kingdom Trails network. Kingdom trails is all about mountain biking and we had the bed of the truck loaded with bikes. My Surly Pugsly was towing Tyler's "Shocker" Trail-A-Bike plus we brought my Gary Fisher Rig and Tyler's Fuji Fazer.
The Jeep cruised happily at 70mph most of the way, though climbing some of the bigger hills forced us to drop to 4th gear just to maintain 60mph. It is a heavy little truck and we were well loaded. We still managed better than 20mpg on the way up, not bad for a tired 25 year old truck.
