The 25' AS came in and I have about 200 miles of test driving her, partially loaded, and full tank of fresh water to add more test weight. I have to say I am very impressed with the air suspension ride and the Ram 5.7 and 8 speed. The tranny keeps the RPMs in a nice close range, no big surges of high RPM when down shifting. When I drove the 25' back from dealer I went 60-63mph. I averaged 13.9mpg on mild rolling hills. With and with out cruise control. I know this won't be my real life experience, especially when I hit the mountains, but overall the suspension and power train have exceeded my expectations. No it's nothing like my last two diesels but then again I am looking forward to not having those big bill maintenance costs either. On Wed. I head leave Mich. for WY and ID for our annual jaunt. A little nervous having two new of everything on a trip:-) keeping my fingers crossed.
