    Carlson27, yes Barcelona Red.

    I went for a short 70 mile ride today. Highway and some back roads back from Temecula. Truck rode well and handled the back road curves really nice. The Toyo's are supposed to be 29 psi but ITMS shows 36 psi front and 34 rear. Need to check them once they cool down. I like the GPS. Turns show on the center screen of the instrument cluster which is cool. Avg 20 mpg so far.

    I thought I had settled on the blazing blue but that red could give me some second thought. From those pictures the Barcelona red looks a little brighter than last year.

    Nice looking truck, congrats.

    Sam, random question, how does the GPS/screen feel and look? Pretty good quality?

    GPS is great. I have used a number of Garmins on the bikes and the new one has a built in screen with GPS and it is no where near the Garmin. I plugged in my home address from Temecula and I like the operation. Works well and has a SD card slot to input pre-made maps. The unit takes some getting used to. It took me a little bit to get to the speaker balance and sound settings.

    On that note, @Sam B , looking at the grill on your truck, how hard does it look like it'd be to swap the Sport chrome insert for say the SR black insert?

    Your truck looks great Sam!

    I need to see it in person, my gut tells me the online pics aren't doing it justice.
