First Road Trip with the Telluride

[mrplatz]

In about 3 weeks the wife and I are planning a fun road trip. Albuquerque to Prescott AZ, then to nieces wedding in Chino Hills CA, then to Lake Powell AZ, then the highlight, heading up to TELLURIDE CO, and finishing off the trip with a few nights in Durango CO, then back home. Looks like over 2400 miles on the new Telly in around 18 days.

Snow White Pearl SXP/Grey interior with just over 400 miles on her.

Anything I need to think about before and during its maiden voyage?

Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. Take it all in and live the moment!

Cruise control is your friend. As a rule of thumb, I don't use it until I've broken it in for about 1000 miles. Drove I-40 my after purchase. Easy peasy to be going 80+ without being aware.

Love the Pic. Thanks for posting, We ordered the SXP/Dune. I noticed you going to end y'all journey at Telluride, Co. Would be interesting to see how many of

already planning on trip to TELLURIDE, CO. soon after we do get our Telly here in Southeast Louisiana

We are heading to Durango for the 4th and are going to HAVE to drive the Telluride to Telludride! As long as CO doesn't ban us Arizonans due to Covid!

Thanks. Telluride is awesome. My son and I used to run the off road trails up there. Black Bear and Imogene Pass. Of course I had a lifted, Icon suspension, 35” tires on an FJ Cruiser. Those were fun trips. Son had a lifted Wrangler with 35” tires also. Should never had sold that FJ.

The Telluride in Telluride!

Beautiful town, great memories on and off the slopes in the winter and the trails in the summer.

Here's a summary of our trip. Telluride did Great! No problem with the hills or passing. Could it have more power, yes, however for its purpose as a family hauler it was perfect! Got a nice warm welcome home!
