Had my Truck for 3 weeks - My thoughts

Ok - I have had my truck for 3 weeks now.

Lariat. Limit slip. 4x4 Screw Black 2 tone Black interior

First I would like to say this truck is awesome. I had a 2001 XLT before and no comparison.

At first the truck was a bit slugish but after 800 km (500 miles) it has pick up considerbly and expect more out of it when fully broken in.

Gas milage - running around 12 mpg/ 19.5 litres/100 km (80% city) Hopefully this will improve

Hesitation around 62 km/hour - Feels like it is looking to find the right gear - Anyone had this before? What fix is there for it?

Weird noise when braking (at low speed and when talking foot off brake pedal to start going agian) Sounds like a grinding type noise. Not sure what this is. Anyone know?

Have the regualr 6 cd sound system. Is awesome for stock

Slight bed shake. Only noticable when I actaully look in my side mirror going over a bump. Not worried about this.

I find the seats very comfortable after I found the right seat settings for me.

Great interior. (getting use to the woodgrain)

Love the drive - smooth as silk compared to my 2001 XLT

Air Conditioning - I find that mine is pretty good. We have not had super hot days yet. Highest temp was around 26 degrees C. / 82 degrees F. Cooled the truck fairly fast and kept at a compfortable temp.

All in all this is an awesome truck. Hopefully I can figure out the fixes need for the 2 problems I have with it.
