Is your mall crawler ready to go?

Who knew there was cool stuff between MT and AZ. Thankfully running boards will be here Tuesday.

I was torn between a half and three qaurter ton this time around. I went with the half but that was the exact 3/4 down to the color I was going to buy. How do you like it?

After the first 3k miles I am a fan. I do want to take a jig saw to the valance.

I liked the Black Appearance package, but didn't want the 20" wheels, ugly running boards and spraying bed liner. I toyed with Glacier Gray, but I think that was an additional $495. I do like the Carbonized color and no up charge.

Truck computer said I got 16.7 both ways from MT to Mesa, but I didn't check the numbers at the pump.

Impressive. I didn't go with the 3/4 mainly for fuel efficiency. Went with gmc 1500 instead. Got me questioning that now. I've had it for 3 days and knocked the new right off of it blazing trails today getting ready for firearm season. Did you get the bench seat or bucket seats?

I like it. Jig saw'd the valence on my '17 while it was in place, no regrets there.

My 6.2 has never sniffed 14 mpg for a tank, much less 16.something.

Good to hear on the valance. Looks like a PITA to pull it off, so good to know you had no issues trimming it while mounted.

The truck had less than 100 miles when I hit the road, so no cruise control and low rpm's for my trip south. It will be interesting to see the mileage going forward. 7.3 gas

This one was a must, I went with bucket seats.

Same. Once you have them the fold down console sucks.

Better than I expected. Hope it holds for you.

That will likely be my next truck. Went from a diesel f350 to a half ton gasser. It's a good commuter, and probably better off-road, but I do miss the full size capabilities on occasion.

It's hard to pick one that does everything you need imo.
