Here's a seriously newbie question for you. We picked up the MB and immediately drove 30 hours - so it was kind of a jump-in-and-try-to-swim sort of trip <g>... Once we were east of the mountains, we found that the van handled pretty well for its size and bulk, that it had reasonable acceleration, and that it seemed very happy cruising anywhere in the '70's. But when we had our flat tire, the guy who did the tire swap said, "Oh, I'd never think of going that fast in a rig like this - I wouldn't want to take it over 60-65." That was a surprise - I never gave speed much thought, since the rig didn't feel uncomfortable at any speed I drove it.
So - what speed do you cruise at, and do you have any speed that you consider a max? My impression is that the rig has its own max, in the low '80's, and I didn't push up there, after trying it once. But I'm curious whether anybody considers that the low to high '70's is too fast for this rig, lightly loaded, with 2 aboard.
