3.73 LS gears in mine.


She will pull like a freight train except up Eisenhower tunnel. About 55 mph and on the floor is about all she will do. Out of breath.


I think Roy should take that route so we can compare.

Makes sense. I have the 4:30 and get closer to 15 maybe 16 if I am gentle. It pulls like an absolute BEAST. Guess there are trade offs, pluses and minuses to everything.

Over 10,000gvw the requirement is dropped. Which technically even most of the srw trucks could get out of it but we still get it....

CONGRATS ROY!! that's a FINE looking rig ya got there.....6 pages in 12 hours, and overnight at that? lol, yeah, that's like a "community" truck at this point

Couple things- STUNNING interior, that is FINE. And I'm digging the lighted running boards tucking up closer to the truck bottom, nice. I'm guessing that might just have immediately become the baddest cleanest newest truck in the area, eh?

Did anyone else notice the painted color matching mirror caps?

So what's first on the list? spray-in bed liner, husky liners, mudflaps?

Does look good.

Hope the check clears the bank.....


Then..........Mud Flaps! I had ordered JGG with them. Forgot that the mud flaps were dropped from the build due to unavailability. I am looking at Husky Mud Flaps and DuraFlaps.........

Hmmmm? I guess I thought the color matched caps were part of the KR package. Along with the factory mud flaps, cause I don't remember seeing anything about either on the window sticker when I picked mine up.

Painted mirror caps are standard with the KR package...Unless the Chrome pkg is chosen.

Mud Flaps were an option..........
I'll add mud flaps to mine soon........
