That's a crazy long drive and 95% of it is boring straight interstates. The other 5% will be traffic and navigating the Rockies. It's easy to think "Just one more hour to go", then you fall asleep at the wheel or make a dumb decision. Take advantage of rest stops and get in quick power naps. Those seats go back pretty far with the extended cab and the floor behind the seats isn't too bad either for a nap with the jump seats up.

Hopefully the shop checks the thermostat housing because that and the 4WD computer are the only issues I'm aware of.

Yeah, for the first owner being "commercial" on the Carfax, it's got a lot of options. 

I do know the speed limit in Montana is 80 mph. Curious how comfortable this will be at 80-85 there. Just glad it has cruise control, and I will have to figure out a solution (that ideally isn't FM-based) to get my phone cranking some tunes through that fancy head unit. Will definitely be taking breaks and paying attention to how I feel on the trip.

Good to know re: thermostat housing. The case worker was going to put me in touch directly with the mechanic so I'll be sure to mention that to him as a potential weak spot that he should check out.
