I never did break the speed limit. The yellow 35mph signs are intended for semi trucks loaded with Suzuki Trackers, and are not an enforced limit. The posted limit was 55; I was doing 50.

You're right about the efficiency with load thing, though! Dad's Ram 2500 (with the same 5.9 as my Dakota) averages about 13mpg normally, and taking two dirtbikes and a trailer over the Cascades returned 12. 0-60 wasn't changed much either; always 3 minutes.
