Biting off more than you can chew?

Terry and I are planning a cross country trip next summer. We plan on taking the travel trailer out to Alaska with a group from the Good Sam Club.

I'm sure the Tundra will not have the difficulties demonstrated in the clip below despite having to haul a 27-foot long, 7,000 pound trailer over the Canadian Rockies and north to Alaska.



At least I hope it doesn't.

Two comments, sir: when you're approaching the crest of the mountain before beginning your descent to Lake Muncho, in British Columbia, put the truck in low range for pulling power. The people behind you will appreciate it.

The other: as you leave British Columbia and are heading north through the Yukon Territory - when you see a sign that says "Bump" - BELIEVE IT. It may be another 100 yards down the road, but it will have your front end completely airborn, and won't do your trailer much good, either.

Other than that, it's a wonderful adventure. I want to do it again, some day.
