6 Litre -Awsome

I was on my way home today with my 06 6 litre ex-cab 6 spd 4 x4 work truck loaded with tools at 70 mph. You come to a hill with the cruise on and the only thing that changes speed wise is the turbo pressure. Cars pull out to pass on a hill because you are a truck but pull in behind you 1/2 way up. How can other manufactures conpete with this?

It gets better. Wait until you're pulling a 33' 8500lb boat and you go up a hill passing two Chevies towing little 21' runabouts. I just smiled and waved as I went past. They were rapped up pretty tight and I was still in overdrive. HAHA

I love mine also. Unbelievable power for a stock truck. I like the deisel noise at low speed and the dead quiet on the highway, the best of both worlds.
