    prior onwer, and a pro owner at that.. just love this new truck,, joy to drive, tight, awsome ride, modern inside.. welcome to the 21st century,, im just loving it. love the s-shift, as i always manually shifted my 15 alot, alot of hills and curvy roads,, the s-shift is cool.. heated seats,heated mirrors, outsidetemp gauge, dual climate control, crawl control, way better hud, better louder stereo. power rear window, leather interior, i can keep going on. buti need a beer... just amazed at the differance,,, dont miss the 15 pro at all,,, and my says im never happy with anything.. had a 2014 Offroad, traded for 2015 pro, now 2017 pro, ..

    I saw in a video that the engineers hung posters of all the great bodybuilders of this generation and the past...the Arnold's the Lou's, the Kai Greene's. And on the walls spread the words "Thick. Solid. Tight."

    It's amazing how far a little motivation goes.

    I drive both 2nd and 3rd gen currently. I hardly notice the difference. Maybe I am not paying attention. But when I drive my Mazda3...huge difference. Wow. Love it

    What year of 3? I have a 3 and I really think Mazda does a good job with steering response.
