About 2000 miles into our road trip that took us to Moab and now to Lake Tahoe. We packed as light as we could. Average speed of about 65. Range 200 miles....ish. I’ve found the Jeep is much happier in manual mode, left in auto it will downshift and hit 5k rpms. In manual I can maintain speed at around 2500 rpm. There have been a few passes where I had to shift down to 4th to maintain 50. Jeep never got hot coolant or trans temp. I will be regearing before our next trip. Over all I am very happy with my jeeps abilities.

Sounds like a great trip. I had the same experience towing my 3200lb TT this weekend. 5,6,7 and staying steady were the trick.

We have a 19 hour trip to CO and UT on the books for next year. Not looking forward to stopping for gas every 2 hours!

i dont know where you are in life, but this exactly matches my kids pee+snack schedule, so its really not an inconvenience for us. except for the commercial impact, obviously.

It’s light for its size
