P1000 Just an Idea?

[Buckshotaz]

I've been shopping for a P1K-5 here in Arizona for some time. All I can find is MSRP + this + that + other things and I am looking right at $19K just for the machine with nothing on it for a non-delux

So after looking at what everyone was getting their P1K-5 for in Chatanooga for, an idea came to mind.

I am looking at saving over $2000 if I were to go to Chatanooga and buy it there. Now if I were to pull a trailer with my F-250 all the way to Chatanooga I would eat up all my savings with gas and motels and food

This is my question, what do you guys think if I were to fly to Chatanooga, buy the P1K-5 and drive it back to Arizona?

I love the idea! But get some energy drinks,a windshield and a set of Michelin's first.

Man if you're brave enough to drive it back to AZ, I'll throw in a free ride from airport to the dealership lol.

Hey @Delton we should start up a collection and send it to Chattanooga for @Buckshotaz. Maybe pioneer owners along the way could GoPro and cheer. It'd be a c-movie but updated version of Smokey-and-the-Bandit. I'd give up my left nut for that!

Tires! I didn't think of that, and what about oil change? Looks like a stop in east Texas will be needed

1672 miles and I wouldn't even be going through east Texas for tires. The map said I can do the trip in 24 hours? But I don't think stopping for tires is part of the calculation? This looks like I need to think about this some more

 

[Delton]

I'm curious as to how far one could get trying to make that trip, before the law got em lol. Maybe take 2 weeks off from work and take nothing but back roads.

24 hrs my arse. You couldn't take the interstate or Johnny law would surely nail you.

 

[Buckshotaz]

Can someone tell me the mpg and the size of the gas tank on the P1K-5 non-delux is?

 

[CumminsPusher]

Let the challenge begin!!!

 

[Tflynn]

If you travel 1672 miles in 24 hours your average speed would have to be 70mph. Plus you'd need to do 3 oil changes on the trip and I don't think holding your new P1k at a high rpm for that many miles is a great way to break it in...

But man what a fun trip that would be!! until smokey catches you

I think it's around 7.5? We get 15.5-20 really dependent on terrain and speed. If you stayed 40-45 on freeway you'd probably get 35-40 though at 65 not so much

You need to get the white one,put California plates on,Eddie-Bauer emblems on it and kill a woman they seem to chase that stuff for hours at low speed!

Hahaha what year is it? 1994?

That's some funny shiznizzle right there! Lol

You run 45 on a freeway and mpg is gonna be the least of your worries lmao

He was innocent! Remember the glove didn't fit.

 

[CumminsPusher]

I do remember.

 

[Delton]

That was the most entertaining news story of all time lol.

 

[Buckshotaz]

I see the point of driving 40-45 mph down I-40 would not be a safe idea? I'm thinking back dirt roads? How can I map out the roads to take? The more I think about this I'm not sure about 3 oil changes, tires and dirt roads????
