X5M Northwest Winter Roadtrip

Gents,

I took the wife and pups on a winter road trip to the Northwest while also towing a 12' Uhaul trailer. Before leaving we built a platform to make a flat bed in the back so the dogs would be more comfortable and we could all sleep in the truck. Only spent one night in the truck, a little cramped, but not terrible for one night. We went through northern Arizona, up 395 in California, then hopped on I5 up to Washington. It snowed in a few places but only bad spot was in Oregon on I5. I was riding on summer tires and the trailer was around 3700lbs. Super solid and no issues even through a lot of rain in Oregon.

Thanks, was a fun ride. The pups are Malinois mixes. The Black one with tan socks is a GSD/Malinois, the Dirty looking one is a Dutch Shepherd/Malinois Mix, and the Tan one is a rescue "Malinois," but likely a GSD mix also.

They're awesome dogs! We got our first mix 5 years ago and, even though she was wild, I thought "how bad can a pure bred Malinois be?" I got the Dutchie/Mal mix a little over a year ago and he was bred for protection work...absolutely insane. Not a pet at all. They have to have jobs otherwise they demolish anything in their path. I had to get into Schutzhund to keep him occupied. The new rescue pup is a sweetheart which is why we think she is a mix...there is a big difference between the show line and working line though, so she may just be bred for good temperament...they call them Maligators for a reason lol.
