took her out for her first test today towing the van. Shot up the road about an hour to Traralgon to see how she liked the hills and the wind.
kept an eye on the gearbox temp which didnt go over 95. Turned off eco mode and just let her do her thing. I manually dropped her back to 6 and 7 a couple of times just to get used to things. Head wind coming home had her kick back to 7 and stay there for a while it was that strong. She ate up the hills and sat at 105 - 110 in the hills. We certainly won the caravan race, not that I was trying to.
Fuel was around 12.5.
The new to us van wasnt fully loaded, (dry weight), but I had started to load the front boot of the van with gear which saw it up around 170kg over the ball. That should come back a bit when its wet and there is a bit more weight over the axles.
All in all considering the $hitty beginning with the car I have a gained a bit of confidence back in the big girl.
