If I really get on it up the hill out of Westport, she'll wind up to 3000 rpm, but is nice and smooth throughout.

The 4.3 is only available as a 6 speed right?
I assume you vacation up this way? Hopefully soon, we can all get back to doing that. We have friends in Syracuse that have been waiting to come to the cottage
Not sure about current models, but the 2016 4.3 came with the 6 speed.
And yes, my parents built a cottage on Big Crosby Lake way back when they were expecting me... I now share it with my brothers. I can't wait until the border reopens! Fortunately we have some wonderful neighbors who will look after the place until we can return.
Good stuff, my friend owns 5 cottages in Arden, just north of number 7 and most of his customers are from across the border. We're all hoping things are back to normal soon.
