peterbilt running downhill in canyon part3

going back to montreal from L.A,i took a shortcut through arizona just east of phoenix to save some miles. amazing scenery but no much room between the passenger side and the bottom of the canyon!! a lot of fun with a 53ft trailer. hell of a job to drive a semi down those curves and film at the same time. no passenger to help me there.

Love the coments bout the motor but Been there done that as u have ( & in the snow ) everyone wants to drive a big truck but they have no clue till they get into mountain driving, thats what I thought till I took my first trip out west thru the bitter root mountains headed to Oregon in January then back thru Colorado to Texas then go back up to Detroit. Want to drive a big truck dont think its just like driving thru Kansas. ( it snows in Kansas too )

@raneet The sound has nothing to do with being a peterbilt.

Sounds sweet...is that the road into Payson...If so I used to run that back in the in the late 70's early 80's in a '79 359 classic...with a 444 cummins running thru a 5x4...that was an fun run back then.
