We just picked up our 260 Crusader!

On our way home to Denver with our 260. First time pulling a 5er after pulling our previous 30 ft trailer. Dan says it is great. Pictures to follow

Just arrived home, luckily we beat the weather. We only had very light snow blowing on the road and no ice. I drove the last 3 hours ( a little nervously) but this 5th tows like a dream. Goodnight

Just wanted to add that on the way to pick up our Crusader, towing our 6000lb bumper pull our MPG was 9.1 to 9.5. On the way home with the Crusader at about 7400lbs I was seeing 10.5 to 11Mpg! And you know we were going uphill going home. Aerodynamics does make a difference. Also as Trish said "it pulls like a dream".

We traveled 600 miles to Jacksonville, Fl. to pick up ours and like dan747 got better mileage. Pulled 6010 lb bumper pull to Fl. and got 12.4 mpg per the driver info center. Coming home with the 8200 lb Crusader, got 13.5 mpg's.

Took pics yesterday and my wife will post today. Seems like PT is continually improving and updating their products. I'm sure I'll be wishing I had some feature available on next years model that wasn't available when I bought mine.
