Why do you drive a manuel transmission ?

[TexasBigBlue]

With the warmer weather (not that hot yet!) here I'm averaging around 22.7 mpg. Not bad for a mid sized 4WD truck in my opinion. I attribute that to the 2.7L and 5 speed manual transmission.

Dude where are yu at ?

Certainly ain't here in Texas! Lmao!

 

[tacojoel]

Yeah I've seen that the 3.5 V6 with the automatic rivals the fuel economy of the previous gen 4 cylinder.

I'll drop down to around 19 mpg, or so in winter. Right now I'll average 22.5 city/highway.

Gen2 4 speed AT gets crap mpg when mashed near 4k rpm trying to pass on by

Connecticut, I've been to Texas a few times for training years ago in the Irving area. And cool - I see your 2020 is a manual!

you may or may not have to cross that Mississippi river to get to TEXAS

you don't have to cross it though, if you're worried about crossing it, there is a drive-around the Mississippi river

 

[tacojoel]

Crossing rivers isn't any issue, just never been to Texas. I've cross the saguenay in quebec on a snowmobile as well as the river of rats up there, and many smaller ones when frozen.

did you know there is a spot in Minnesota that can only be driven to through Canada unless the water is frozen enough to drive on and avoid entering Canada





northernmost road in the contiguous USA

 

[tacojoel]

I know Canada has their ice roads that transverse large lakes during winter to bring supplies to various villages a lot further north, and west that these trucks can't get to any other time of year.

I actually liked seeing that shot of the northernmost road. I don't do well in hot weather.

If it stayed in the 70's with low humidity, it be great here, but it can get in the 90's with big humidity.....air feels like you're drowning in it.

We've been having 100s with big humidity! It's in the 90s now which actually feels like a huge break!

Yes I've seen that on the news. Glad it 'cooled' down!

Feels like temps down here in FL between 105-110 some times with humidity over fifty percent. Its so hot that when you go get in your car the engine temp gauge is mostly up to operating range before you start the engine.

 

[JayQQ97]

its abnormally cold for July in the GP this weekend

down into the 50s at night, 70s during the day, and it was near 100 a week ago lol with humidity
