Im wondering about long trips in my xb, say 12 hours of constant 4 rpm. Can these motors handle that? Anyone been on a long trip with theres? I noticed a post yesterday of someone who blew theres up going 80mph on there way to work.

 

just as long as the fuilds are topped off you should be fine

 

You will probably stop before you go to 12 hrs of driving!

 

I can't see how that would hurt anything. There would have to be another reason for the damage like low or no oil, no coolant causing it to over heat but continuing to drive,ect. Other than that I don't see it happening.

 

I drove my daughter's Xb from Oregon to Phoenix - 20 hour drive straight thru - only to stop for gas & food - had no problems

 

except for when you had to release gas!

 

I don't think I have ever heard of a car breaking due to long driving periods unless the vehicle was neglected in the first place, especially not anything built within the last 15 years or so

 

blown motors sux. the fuji hates blown motors. ufff !!!

 

Granted it's not a tC, but I drove my Subi from Denver to Philly straight through, only stopping for gas and that thing had 100,000 on it before the trip. I can't imagine a new car would have any problem making that trip. Like the others have said as long as you fluids are full and you haven't neglected the car in the past, you should be fine.

 

I drove mine from West Palm Beach Florida to here and mine is still fine........

I've driven the furthest!

 

My dad drove his xB from Michigan to Airzona and back twice (in just over a year) as well as several other shorter trips from Michigan to Indiana or Ohio and has never had problems. Even going up and down the mountains, it was a bit slower than some of the other cars but really had no problems. My dad's trips from Michigan to Arizona pretty much have been straight thru with little stopping other than gas.

Get an oil change and have the fluids checked before your drive and you should have no problems.

I Drove my box last christmas from Phoenix to Northern California about a 11 or 12 hour trip and I had no problems what so ever. I drove 75 to 80 the whole way well except a little stretch on I-10 once you get past the valley and had to take it up to 100 to see how it handled there. I've even got a pic to prove it

 

I also drove my xB to Northern California and back as well. Only stopping for gas. 75-85 the whole way and not a single problem. 13 hour drive each way.

 

Each year, I drive the ~1200 mile trip from Shreveport, LA to Phoenix, AZ and it performs like a champ. I went from Phoenix to Dallas straight through, no stops, no problems. Like everyone else says, check the fluids, especially oil.

 

I don't see why there would be a problem.

 

it'll be fine. well....i guess. i have an xa. i drove from northern cali all the way down here to phoenix. sooo...i think it'll be ok. but you WILL stop before you hit 12 hours...i guarantee it
