BT Cruisers

[phoebewienke]

Where are the BT Cruiser owners? I've found no posts on this forum when using the "search." I am interested in the 5291 model which has the atrium. I am concerned with possible leakage and would like to know of any owner experience. It is a new model so there may not be many owners yet. I would also like to know what the experience is of using the Ford 450 to tow a Honda with a 29', traveling over hills and mountains.

We took a 29.5 F450 from Phoenix to the east coast and back towing a Honda Element. The Honda was full of stuff and probably weighed over 4000 lbs. We went over mountains and thru deserts and never had a problem, altho W VA and the blue ridge in VA were somewhat of a challenge. W VA is not flat anywhere and we spend alot of time in 3rd gear going up the hills. Temp guage never moved; we just burned more gas. I generally cruise around 60 on the interstates; it will go faster but the gas mileage plummets

i have an 07 atrium model and have not had any problems. Just do your regular maintenance. I tow a toyota tacoma pickup--works fine. The 450 power plant is a good platform.
