Just finished a pull from Miami to Seattle with the new Suburban I picked up a few months back. 5525 miles and 734 gallons of gas makes it the worst gas milage ever, but what a pleasant experience compared to the Trailblazer SS! Couple of bumps along the way with blown trailer tires, broken WD hitch, etc...but overall it was an awesome trip and the Suburban pulled like a beast!

Whoa! How did the WD break?? Glad you made it. Sounds like it was an awesome trip.

Your entire setup looks really good! I'm a real stickler for towables and their TV's being level and you are! It's extremely important so that you maintain control when towing. Good job!

Thanks, it was actually setup for the 2010 but it's the same truck as the 2012 with the same suspension. I had to fight as it was installed improperly on the 2010 and broke the head. Even after being fixed, I did readjust the cam/bar alignment (on the 2012) as it wasn't done correctly from the dealer. It's all perfect now.

Thanks again, it's nice when someone notices after all the hard work getting it right!! [emoticon]

Here's my new (to me) 2010 F250... Mainly I'm posting this to learn myself how to post a pic here and follow the rules. I promise I'll fix it if I get it wrong out of the gate. [emoticon]

Edit: OM! I think I passed the posting picture test! [emoticon]

Nice looking F250 - looking to get into one similar to your.
