That being said, maybe those who chime in can provide some insight as to how much highway driving the vehicle sees.
Towing seems to also help with avoiding CBU (carbon build up) in the 35d. I have a 2011 with 136,xxx miles on it, and I LOVE it!! I get 28 - 30 on interstate (if I keep it under 75mph), it tows like a beast, its comfortable and extremely safe feeling. All that said I unfortunately have to put it up for sale due to a pretty substantial life change that I'm about undertake. I'll be listing it in the classified section once I'm given permission.
