Drove from Los Angeles to St. Louis with a 6'x12' trailer loaded to the brim. The GS handled pretty fantastically, even at higher speeds of ~90mph or so at certain points. Didn't experience trailer sway even once. It felt very solid. Even had enough power to pass when needed, albeit slowly. Hills were the biggest issue. We used cruise control for a lot of the trip and it would have to downshift sometimes up to 5 gears just to maintain our speed up the hill. It would just scream at 5k rpm until we crested the hill and then it would settle back down. There were long stretches of uphill that required it to sit at 4k rpm to maintain our speed, didn't even make the coolant temp needle budge, though there was one point (literally just once) where we had to maintain 5k rpm for a while to maintain speed up the hill which caused the coolant temp to rise just a smidge, but it calmed back down immediately after and never rose like that again. We eventually found a gas station with 93 octane fuel and this made a HUGE difference in power. It made all the difference getting up hills after we put in 93. Was shocked really at how much more power and torque we had available. Wish we had found 93 octane fuel sooner. We probably averaged 80mph for most of the trip and had to stop for fuel every 180 miles or so which was about every 2.5-3 hours which worked out fine. We'd get out, go to the bathroom, get something to eat, etc.

Here are some pics we took along the way:

Great pictures - I can tell you have taken extremely good care of your F Sport - amazing it handled that well at those speeds especially with a trailer that large.

Are you running a dry performance air filter?

Managed to get one of the only two parking spots near Pioneer Courthouse Square and this years tree.... Lets just say Photoshop took out the ugly car behind me

I was tempted to pull up on the plaza at the other end but I figured I might have security all over me before I even got out of the car.

Wow....had to go all the way to page 5 to find this thread...this was about as "right now" as it could ever be....

Looks like I may get a chance to see how well that AWD does....and maybe even play snow plow like some people have done with their GS?

The slammed GSFs do look great.
