Steve it seems as though you could be brothers. He too is used to being good at things and he's a perfectionist to boot. It's difficult with this 3 ring circus he's hitched to. No regrets so far on your purchase?
You seem to have assuaged my fear of mountain driving with plenty of power. We have a 2022 Hyundai Palisade but it has AWD so that doesn't work because he doesn't want to purchase a trailer you put the entire vehicle onto. He thinks at most a dolly with front wheels up or else a flat tow. He's concerned about needing to unhook a trailer and potentially move by hand (alone) in case of a tight spot. We also have bigger and smaller vehicles but that's the size vehicle we need for travel so I guess we will need to trade that for something else that is about the same weight. All that to say we would be pulling that through the mountains in Mexico.
Once we hit the border it's only about 3 hours until we've ascended 5000 feet. 3000 feet of that is within 85 kilometers. It's brutal and unpredictable.
This unit has 270 gals of diesel and 150 fresh with 150 black/grey. There's some real appeal there for a woman who worries about everything.
If it's ok, I may have him reach out with any questions because it seems as though you both have the same skillset.
Blessings
