'06 Tow Haul / OD Lockout / Ex Brake

Shamelessly copied from my post in another forum.....

Test drove 2 '06's this afternoon.

Both Autos/SLT
1) 4wd 3500 - White w/ Nice taupe interior. Liked the deluxe seats, with the inlay in the middle. Made it look more appealing than just a solid color. Chassis seemed to shake when the engine is ideling...more than i have noticed on other test drives. Good acceleration, as you would expect.

2) 4wd 2500 - Grey w/Grey interior. Nothing overly special about it....other than the dealer installed Jake. Had to take this one for a ride! So, tried it at low speeds....as expected, not much help in auto downshift. So I tried it on a long straight with OD locked out and manually shifting....Yeah, it works well, even with no load! You even hear a little 'jake' like noise on high (>2000rpm) deceleration.

They both had the column selector:
< Tow/Haul
<< OD OFF

I'm sold....Now just have to wait for 3 months as we just refinanced. ****!
