Had my PB ceramic coated. It looks fantastic and virtually no maintenance keeping it clean. Highly recommended

Nice to see another Blue Ecodiesel! Your going to love it especially with the 33gal tank!
What kind of mileage are you seeing with the 3.92 and diesel? You running 33s? Also cool to see another sport with the regular hood, looks way cleaner in my opinion. Great looking truck!

So before going to the 18s and A/T tires I was seeing 26-28ish and on longer highway trips in good conditions 30ish. Not running 33s, 275/65/18 (32.1 OD I think) I'm very light footed and considerate to my fuel economy. Just a habit of driving TDIs over the last 10yrs. My wife would get 23, period. Now with the 18s and more aggressive tires I'm 23-26 and have never seen 30 since. Maybe 27-28 at best. Its harder to get a good read on the tank since I'm now towing a 7000# boat pretty often so that kills my mpg obviously.

Joined the Patriot Blue club this week! Traded in my 2019 BigHorn Sport in Granite Crystal Metallic for this 2022 Laramie Sport Level 2. Loving it so far. I plan on keeping it mostly stock, except for a MOTOFAB 2” level kit and 34” General Grabbers which will be installed next week.

Blue is much nicer.
......now you just need some chrome bumpers....
I’m not a huge fan of the chrome package on 5th Gens.. and it’s actually not the bumpers that I don’t like, it’s the grill inserts and the chrome “eyebrow”.

That said, I do think some colors look nice with chrome accents, Patriot Blue being one of them. I like the Sport package because it has just enough chrome on it.

I swapped out all the chrome badges for black ones on my last truck, I plan on leaving this one as is.
