At the hotel the 72 had no problems pulling the trailer . Only once did I have to back off going up an incline not so much the water temp but the trans got close 180 degrees . Most times it was running 160 to 170 . On a straight and level road it dropped to 155 . Averaged 11 mpg and blue averaged 16 . Nice view out the window of the motel
