LOL. I LOVE it so far. I have only put on about 350 miles with one trip of 240miles. It rides very smooth and quiet. The gas mileage has been 27.4 and 26.5 the two times I checked it. That is with number one diesel for the winter which I understand to be less energy per gallon.
Nicely equipped truck. Thanks on the 3.21 confirmation, appreciate it.

You have the truck I wanted (but wasn't out yet) when I bought mine. You need to put some miles on that rascal and then come back and post a report! :)

Also, don't trust the onboard computer. I track my mileage in Fuelly and my onboard computer varies between spot-on and as much as 2MPG optimistic. I don't think I have ever actually gotten better MPG than what the computer says. It's almost always 0.5 to 1 MPG worse than what the onboard computer says.

I really need to go do a test drive on an ED. [other voice in my head:] No, I don't. My truck is less than 6 months old. I need to keep it at least 2 years before I seriously consider trading it in....

I have not put any fuel into it yet since I still have over one-half tank left. I have not driven it too much since the roads are covered with salt/slop (ie I have to take care of my toy).
