....sooo. i got my truck last night.

i got it last night. today i had the day off and was flaunting it to friends and family. it got great reviews and i love it. it's been mostly city driving. i burned a 1/4 tank just zipping around the city. i'll get some pics up when i can. i'm rally glad i went with vista blue. my plans include a line-x bed and a tonneau cover. i can't wait to try out the 4wd. now that i have it, i can't wait to drive it on trips. if there's snow next week, i'm going boarding with a buddy.

man i'm just so hyped right now!!!!!! first new truck feeling!!!!

i didn't want the 4.10s. it would make my rpms higher then i wanted. i do mostly city driving and i felt that would use too much gas. (i know 4L like to drink also) i don't mind the 3.73s and i have no plans to do the stoplight racing in my truck. i'm happy with it.

heh, to bad ur wrong. lower gears in the city make it easier to pull out and accel which will use less fuel.

well then i'm wrong, however, it's still what i wanted to go with. as far as pulling out and accelerating, you make it sound like i'm stoplight racing. my stoplight racing days are over. i'm 28. i wanted a reliable vehicle. this is it. if i wanted to win stoplight races or any races, i'd have bought a mustang or a fusion and modded the **** out of it.
