Vehicle - 2006 LC Stock except for 35" tires and front TJM bumper
Boat - 5000# +
Road - Rolling hills several grades of 7%, some several miles long.
Temp - 47 - 75 degrees
Altitude range - 1000' - 4500'
Outcome - The LC kicks ass...pulled all grade at 60MPH (with more room)slowed down a couple of times due to traffic to 40MPH and pulled right back up to 60MPH. The same hills most 80's empty have a difficult time maintaining speed, most don't.
Water temp never exceeded 198 degree. Rpm reached 5000 a couple of times for a short time regaining speed on grades.
MPG - 11.94 GPS 219.78miles 18.41 gals.
Normally I run Premium when I hit the road but I had a full tank of regular and I had to go this morning. My guess is the LC would of got better gas mileage and pulled easier if I used premium. - Next time!
I'm beginning to really like this LC
