When you reads the new stuff has six or more gears you have to ask yourself is it really worth it in the end to get that last .10 of a mile to the gallon. The government dictates almost everything we do now. Pretty truck though. How many C-6 overhauls can you do and 3 mpgs worse can you do for $30,000. Not slamming owner I just wish they wish they would put more money into durability than into styling. But the customer spends the all mighty dollar on style. Just my opinion.

2x on the durability feature, rather than the fluff & puff, with no tough. I hardly think that a 2012 pickup will ever become a classic, unless plastic and outsourced parts comes into vogue.. It is the Disposable Age, so things just have to last until the 36 payment, or perhaps, the 60th payment. New trucks sure are pretty, and 'Dang, don't they have a purdy mouth'...

I would think, with aftermarket tuning on the transmission, the transmission would be plenty capable hard part wise instead of being cut off at the knees with factory "general public" shift strategies. If that makes sense, I know what Im tryin to say.
