Hmm, last year I bought my Syncro Westy in San Diego. Drove it from LA
to Washington D.C. in 5 days via Colorado (among other places). that
was a bit over 2500 miles. Only problem I had was getting over Monarch
Pass I pushed it a bit hard and had the temperature buzzer kick in.
Gave it a rest for a few minutes, ran it up to the Tourist shop at the
top and gave it a long rest (30 minutes). Beyond that it ran
flawlessly. Doubt you'll have an overheating problem on a trip to the
frozen north.
