dealer changes hands

Know what you mean as when I was living in Lake Temagami and I bought (so I thought) and brand new 18.50 boat. The boat was over 50 grand and they asked for 44 grand. I tried to negotiate with extras down to 42 grand. They wouldn't budge so I called back to pay their price but was told that Headquarters upped their prices and now the boat would be almost 50 grand. I called the boat headquarters and some how actually talked to the President of the company. I didn't know this until I recognized his name in the brochure Book. What actually happened was the salesman negotiated the price using a base amount for a 16.50 and wanted out of the deal. I found this out later. He tried to blame headquarters on the pricing. After talking to Headquarters he said the salesman would call me back shortly. I ended up buying the boat for a great price. And the reality was I wouldn't have bought the boat if the salesman was honest with me rather than trying to BS me. So I said to myself screw that guy and I bought the boat for a reduce price. Usually when I deal with dealers for cars/etc. they give me an invoice on pricing and options out the door. You are correct about some dealerships being shady though. Even more of a rip off at some dealerships when servicing your vehicle. Have to be on the ball on that one. PS: I bought the boat in Hamilton and it is generally considered one of the best companies for boats.

fuel tank is a joke on the 6 3/4 bed trucks. who in the HELL thought 26 gallons was enough? Now I'm going to have to spend a grand plus to have one made to fit inside the truck bed and plummed into the line.

One of the main reasons I now have a diesel and an 8 foot bed complete with 38-39 gallon tank. At least you don't have to plan your next stop 10 minutes after leaving a gas station while pulling a 12K pound 5th wheel with a V10

Having to keep electrical tape on instrument panel.
High beam and "tow haul" indicator lights are way too bright, they should dim along with the rest of the instrument panel.

Oh, and Supercabs really should come with a dome light.

BINGO! And furthermore the Nav unit should dim as well.

Hi guys I agree on the brights indicator and T/H . but I believe you can change the Nav brightness In the settings.
I don't have it in my 6.7 but my wife has it in her Escape and I played around and changed it. It was not in the owners manual that I could find anyway.

As you can see, although it's not tied directly to the dash light dimmer, there are a few settings you can play with on the nav. Go to the settings icon on the bottom of the screen and select display.
