Oh no - my cousin has a Mega - it has an unbelievable amount of room in the cab. You and the family will love it. Congrats.

WRIGGLEY or WRIGGS(110LBS American Bulldog) ----the mutt has pretty much taken over my Mega now,jumps right in and stretches out,makes himself at home.Might even be a little harder to get him to ride in the 01 with the canopy on the bed,spoiled dog ----he gets treated better than some kids---he does make a good alarm system though when strangers come around.DW

Well, updated the signature as I drove it home yesterday. Now that I put a few miles on it, what a difference in ride and handling over the old one. The new steering geometry on the 08's seems to really make it responsive, more than our minivan (02 T&C).

The mileage on the first small trip seemed OK for all the doom and gloom reported. The needle didn't move off of the full mark and I drove it about 250 Km home from Sherwood Park. The overhead (FWIW) displayed an average of 18 mpgUS at 115 kph. From the standing average on the truck with the demo Km's on it displayed 14.2. Which for city driving and a trip or 2 to Sask seems not too terrible. Maybe I just have low expectations..

Are we talking hours, days or weeks? With all the BOMBers near him, I doubt it will have a lengthy stock life.
