Nice looking truck. I gotta stop coming into these threads or I'll end up buying one. That wouldn't go over well.
My DW was and is as excited as I am. This will not only be my daily driver but also her horse tow vehicle (with three other horses) on the weekend during show season (show jumping...the funny hats, pants, and jackets...not what I traditionally thought of when thinking of "riding a horse" LOL). I call it the "long con"...get here into riding...wait 4 or 5 years...get what I want in the end

Just rolled over 1k miles.
That makes perfect sense. I'll keep an eye on that.

Thank you! The seats are a little darker than pictured, they are VERY nice, love the darker accent strips.
I'm sure you read the break-in info but if you haven't make sure you vary that speed for the first 1000 miles. Don't lock it on cruise for long periods of time.
I did, and am working hard on that. I did run around 75 for a period yesterday, right around 350 on the clock now, did a bunch of running around town last night, looking for stop lights etc, working to mix it up good.

This color is going to look amazing in the sun, it's been raining for the last 24 hours here, looking forward to some sun.....eventually. We do need the rain though, tinder dry here.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST - the truck fits in the garage by, and I kid you not, .5". I actually needed to flex the door out a bit last night to slide past the receiver (park roll-back). I'm going to do a little trimming in the front shortly here...give me a little slack. Unreal. Really happy about this (Kansas hail in the spring).

Reason: Quotes messed up.
Well to be honest it is not attached to my home... 40x70 Man Cave
I hear ya, where I'm from (northern MN) the only way to get anything done (thaw the sleds/trucks/ice fishing gear, have a few beers in a Friday night) through the winter is to have a separate heated structure...well versed in this way of life. Unfortunately I'd have to torpedo my neighbors home to accomplish this where we live now. Next time around, it's land to move and out buildings galore. Happy Monday all!
