    Thanks yall! I drove it around today and I have some impressions. The sort of bad: the weird transmission drag. The transmission seems to have a mind of its own there. lmao! However, that is not entirely new and it is not a deal breaker by a long shot. It is not bad, just sort of there now and then. There was transmission drag in my '09 sometimes when I wanted to accelerate faster than the truck obviously wanted to. I will have to do some reading on it. Is it a driver error or just a quirk? I know that I need to get used to driving this truck.

    Now the good: this truck is just fing awesome!! It is heavier than the last gen, which is comforting after getting T boned in my old one a few weeks ago. The ride is incredibly smooth, on road and off, and the dash computer is awesome! I need to just sit and play with it so I don't have to figure stuff out while I am driving. Are there any good youtube tutorials on the dash features?

    I am in love! :D

    Yeah, I am going to try to get a lift on it by winter. That is my priority, so it is all I will be able to do in the short term. I already know what the dealership charges! :spending: lmao! I don't want them to have any excuse not to honor the warranty of the transmission or drive train fails.

    I think you’ll adjust your driving habits a bit to make it a “smoother” ride if you will, I don’t even notice the transmission anymore it was definetly a turn off the first couple of months.... congrats on your new ride !!
