Love It

Some observations after 31/2 months & 24k.
So quiet & smooth riding after pounding out my kidneys in the 98.5.
Love the power. Edge EZ is a good investment. Just on 3 & will stay there until I get the 4" & guages.
Like the fact it goes where I point it but the steering is a bit light & quick for my taste.
Brakes are absolutely the best I have ever had.
Door design is stupid, too much noise in cross winds & can't seem to get them adjusted to stop it.
Whoever designed the "slippery when wet" brake & clutch pedals should be shot.
Wish it had 19" wheels for better tire selection. Also you can clean mud out easier. Have to take these off to clean them.
Air intake system from wheel well is a POS
Love the bun warmers.
Fold flat floor is a wonderful invention.
With the side curtain air bags I can't wear my cowboy hat. PO
Like the "dial a shift" 4X4
Installed AFE Mega last night & doing Pac Brake on Sat.

Best Damn Truck I ever owned, now if they would just come out with a 4500 & 5500 so there won't be so damn many PSD's on the road
