Safe travels! Interested in how the Duratracs perform in the snow and if the road noise bothers you on dry pavement over long stretches of time. I put them on my bighorn recently and the increase in noise was immediately noticeable around town (without the radio on) compared to stock, which I expected of course, but I haven’t been on the highway yet and I hope it’s tolerable for long trips w/ fam in the future.

I’ll check that out. The weather don’t show any snow for now. Might experience some during the last day through the Rockies

I'd be interest in the fuel consumption on the Toronto to Sault ste Marie and the Sault ste Marie to Thunder Bay legs of the trip; driving from Barrie to Thunder Bay in essentially the same truck. Mines a 2019 Rebel 5.7 CC.

The road was clear with out any snow. Got to Sault st Marie right now with a average of 16.8 per 100. The roads constantly changes from high way 90+ to 60 in city road. I’m hoping the consumption will drop after getting on number 1.

I actually have a 2019 big horn also. And for sure there is a big difference in the noise level. But to be fair it wasn’t that bad for the drive today, with music turned on it wasn’t bothering me. Road condition was clear and dry. About -2 Celsius average.


Day1

Things I found out that I love and hate after the first day.

Assisted lane keep was a pain to use. Constantly feeling the adjustment due to poor road lane markings. Had to turn it off or constantly adjusting and swirl.


Adaptive cruise control. What a difference to have that. Made the drive a lot easier and relaxing. The road condition requires different traffic speed, instead of getting out of cruise all the time, the system just adjust automatically.
