No problems with handling, plenty of power (I often point out that it has 29 less horsepower than my 1969 SS Camaro).

I get 15MPG towing, unhooked - 25 highway & 22 around town. Over 56,000 miles so far, including mountains in both the East & West. The biggest problem I have is the small gas tank (15 gallons). Out west there are drives between gas stations that get exciting when there is a headwind!
Sure is nice when yo fill-er-up, though. Carl
