Smile Finally Got It

Well my truck that I ordered Mar 1 arrived and I drove the 80 miles or so to the dealer, paid for it and drove it home. My expectations were exceeded. It drove and handled better than expected and was very quiet. So far all the "toys" on it are fun as I am still learning to use them. Low speed responsiveness and acceleration at all speeds are great proving the extreme torque of these engines, even with my 3.42 gears. I am slightly over 70 at 1600 hundred RPMs, mileage is averaging over 15 with a mix of interstate, mountain and back roads -- but probably meaningless with less than 200 miles on it. I wanted to post this to thank all of you for the assistance as I first decided to buy a truck, a diesel, a Cummins, and then figure out the model and the options. I ended up with a great truck. My only complaint and it is unimportant is that the NAV system wouldn't let my wife input destination data etc. while we were traveling -- hopefully I can program around that "safety" feature. It is a bad call in my opinion as most travelers have a navigator running the NAV system so their effort to not distract the driver is dumb. Thanks guys, again it is a fantastic vehicle. Ed
