Shake down cruise

Are you willing to travel to pick it up?  We are traveling to get our r pod and on was a very good price with the r dome included.

Just  a note for your consideration if thinking about a different tow vehicle--
I always read and hear about people wanting to tow with a F150 pickup or similar.  I always want to remind those same people that there are other options to a pickup.  We use a Ford Expedition  which has the same frame, same engine, same transmission, same tow capacity as the F150. Other manufacturers(Chevy, Dodge, GMC, etc) also have larger SUV type body styles with similar tow characteristics. I think the enclosed body style offers a lot of advantages over a pick up. Particularly if the tow vehicle also needs to be the daily vehicle or family auto.

We have towed our Pod cross country, east to west and south to north several times with our Expedition-it tows great, has all of the comfort factors, plenty of power, great transmission, reasonable gas mileage, good visibility and easy to find service.

Yes, a larger and heavier TV  will help. A longer wheelbase will help. No, you don't have to go all the way to an F-250.

I have been a Jeep Grand Cherokee fan for many years.  When I moved out to the Tetons two years ago I had a 6 cylinder Grand Cherokee and quickly realized it didn't have the muscle to tow anything around the mountains out here.  Went looking for a 8 cylinder Jeep and when the dealer initially mentioned the eco-diesel I immediately dismissed the idea.  Was still thinking of noisy, smelly diesels.  After several weeks of looking at Jeeps I was looking at on-line reviews and noticed all the positive things about the eco-diesel.  Went back to the dealer to test drive an eco-diesel and immediately fell in love with it.  When I purchased my new jeep I did up-grade to the Overland Edition and am glad I did.  It is a much more comfortable ride than the standard Grand Cherokee.  Drove it back east to visit family during the Thanksgiving/Christmas holidays and it was a dream.  Going thru eastern Wyoming with a tail wind averaged about 40 mpg.  Normally get about 30 which I think is pretty good.  To make things even better the RPOD easily tows behind it.  Since the RPOD is just about as wide as the vehicle I can use the Jeep mirrors with no modifications.  Glad this was my choice.  Hope this helps in your search and decision.

Sounds like a great trip!
