Not necessarily, on the highway mine reads about dead on (within .1), but in town it is usually about 1.4-1.5 high.

Thanks guys.

Wanted to get initial my thoughts out to you to help you decide on yours. Better to do it stepping out on the heels of the 08' for good comparison.

Another thing I noticed is the irritating steering column rattle I had in the 06' and the 08' is gone. There again in the front end, I think the steering box and or shaft may have been upgraded which could be part of the fix.

For those ordering trucks after January, ask the dealer and post what difference there may be between the current REN option code (non GPS 430 media center HDD, CD, DVD, SAT radio) and the RBZ option code? I may have misunderstood what the RBZ option code is, if it exists?.

The cab dampners improve highway travel. As posted the truck runs on rails with no jounce or rattle. Off road, the dampners help but there's only so much you can do. Gotta keep a little let er' buck in it!

As posted, the overall comfort level fit and finish is way up there now. That extended trip nailed it for me. This truck has matured into one great vehicle. It deserves the mag award.
