I'm somewhere between not being able to hear yourself think and the new Cummins motor.
I don't care for how quiet that thing is. I did a double take once when someone was getting diesel and I couldn't hear that it was a diesel. However, I like to be able to order drive thru and not have to turn the truck off. Personal preference.
I also want a truck that can haul 6 tons, handle well, ride like a dream and keep the same stance regardless of load, and get great mileage. However, that isn't a reality right now which is why I own the three cars in my sig, I couldn't get what I wanted out of one.
