What did they do to make the suspension any different from the 09 and 10 models? I have driven 2011 trucks and they seem the same as my 2010.

I don't think any chassis changes were made for 2011. I could be wrong though. I think that the only things new for 2011 was the engines and an updated instrument cluster.

The brakes were upgraded as well but I can't remember if it was on 2010 or 2011 models.

Agreed. The biggest change in model year were the engines. The other changes listed above were part of a new; more "high tech" - electronically based truck.

All the changes made in conjunction with each other helped improve mpgs.

The ONLY drawback is all the electronics - only if it goes bad sometime in the future.

We'll just have to wait and see.
