Picked up truck today
Finally got my truck.
From the dealer till almost home I averaged 14mpg on the overhead readout. I stopped at an exon truck stop, filled up and the final 20 miles to home, I averaged 18.5 on console.
The total milage from dealer was 160.
The owners manual sais to change the fuel filter as well as the oil filter at the same interval.
What brand and quality fuel is recommended?

Ron, congratulations, and post pictures if you can.
I see you are in Pennsylvania. Where? Did you order this truck? If so, please post your order-to-delivery timeline for us. Thanks.

Mine is silver, sport pkg, 6speed, 3.73, anti spin, light grp, towing pkg, towing mirrors, prem cloth seats, loading floor, and leather wheel. I also got a leer 700 cover installed.
They sold me at cost less the $2500 plus $300 business rebate, and less my my trade.
They're a very fair dealer and very easy to deal with.

Ron,
Did you get a chance to check in out for the 2g vibration?
I drove one off the lot yesterday that had it. You could feel it through the
center armrest and the seat of your pants. It would come and go about every 2 seconds.
I hope mine doesn't have it when it gets here.

I wish I would've been able to find one to my specs on the lot so I wouldn't have to continue waiting. Oh well.
Enjoy your new truck!

I took it up to 80mph, it has awsome power in 6th gear up hill above 60mph.
I added more air to the tires, 60psi, as I usually drive over 65mph. For now I will be the only driver with hardly any extra weight.
