The RPM is at 2,900 in the sweet spot at 65 MPH
Can't get here without have to go up and over some BIG hills.

Yeah, I'll probably put the Bronco on the tow dolly with electric brakes and remote control the starter and cruise control so I can use it to PUSH the GMC up the mountains and hold it back on the way down!
