I've done 630 miles a few times. Approx 10 hours, which includes sightseeing stops, etc.. 6-8 hours is a breeze.
10 hours from Amangani to Amangiri was divine.... but after a 3 week road trip, the last 10 hours was a teensy bit too long, and I finally felt back issues.
We never had issue with the boot.... the jag fitted luggage is fine, if not too tight. Soft sided luggage is way better, but for 3 weeks from national parks to fine dining, we had everything we need.
I even bought the Summer 142 luggage rack (although now I wonder about the spoiler) and was too rushed prior to the trip to install it. It will be handy for the next trip.
BUT 900 MILES OMG. What was that trip if I might ask? I know a few people have done the gumball/gold rush type coast to coast drives, and am always curious how much fun those might be.

I drive from Massachusetts to Michigan (and back) twice a year, to visit family and friends. I take the F-type in the summer, and the XE in winter. I used to fly, but it's gotten so unpleasant that it's easier to drive.
In the summer, I add an hour and cut through Vermont (Green Mountains) and upstate NY, which is a very pleasant way to start the drive.

You are welcome to drop by anytime on your way through. Central New York must be on your route there somewhere? Food and drinks ready with advanced notice or maybe with no notice!

I looked on google maps, since I have no idea about the relative locations of Michigan/Massachusetts.
I never had much interest in the details of the US, as I didn't plan to go there.
Europe is big and I would need several lifes to see all the interesting places, so why look yonder..
Just like I'm not thinking of going to Asia or Australia / New Zealand, even with relatives living there.
But our eldest daughter now goes again to Cornell, after one semester of exchange. She finishes
her master of Law degree at Leiden, and goes to do a 2nd master in the US, ambitious girl she is.
It might turn out we go to the US for holidays to visit her and drive around a bit. But I don't think
we'll do the kind of milage Dave and Paul Champagne do.
If we decided that we go [ me and my wife], I''l open a thread as a questionaire for advice where
to go and what to do/see. Better ask the experts living there then the tourist guides.

NY Thruway across upstate NY, then either cross into Canada (preferred), or head south and go through/around Cleveland.
