I don't think I can coast across whole states. It ain't a 12,000 ton train rolling on steel wheels/rails, but I'm still adjusting my coasts.

Truck curbs at 7,600 lb and GVWR is 9,900 lb. I'm running empty right now.

Astonishingly to me, despite the huge overdrive ratio and tall final drive, this thing still can accelerate at 70 MPH in seventh gear.
