Undecided please help.

Well, I'm ready for a box/programer and I can not decide between a smarty and a Quad box. I'm coming up on 10K on the truck. I'm not wanting to go overboard or do a whole lot of mods. S&B intake added and commander from Quad. I use the truck as a daily driver with about a 40 mile round trip each day with about 25-30 miles of that on the interstate. That's 90% + of the use. I do tow a 8000 - 9000 fifth wheel for summer trips. Anyone with experience with either or both that can chime in? I know I can't go wrong either way, I just would like to know which I might be happier with.


Thanks.

no it wouldnt. you would have to use moderation.
if you want an entry level something that would increase driveability, power, and mileage, without having to worry much about killing something, get the quad.

if you want a bunch more giddyup and go, tire size adjustments, code scanning and clearing, get the smarty.

i started with the quad standard, went to the quad race, and then smarty.

... or go with a Bully Dog Triple Dog. Has many functions the Smarty has, day and night difference from stock, and there's lots in the classifieds at reasonable prices.
Smarty is the newest and is all the rage, nothing at all wrong with the Bully Dog though, plus you can change settings on the fly while driving.
