Very nice! It's a different world than the 99-06 trucks. Just wait till you hammer the gas, and then again when you hammer the brakes.

These trucks stop. My 04 came with 20's from the factory and it wouldn't stop for ****. Someone slammed on their brakes in from of me a couple of weeks ago and I locked all 4 wheels down with the tip of my foot on the brake pedal.

Yeah about a week ago I chirped the tires pretty good when someone pulled in front of me to exit and unexpectedly had to lock them up while still partially in my lane. Very glad mine stopped in an instant literally 2 ft off his bumper. Had been going 50. Good brakes!

Rides like a dream, brakes were the first thing I noticed- and I was planning to bleed them. Got the opportunity to wring it out a few times, ran unlike any 5.3 I've known but still looking forward to a tune.............

lol you'll be discovering cool **** for a while.

I didn't realize mine had puddle lamps at first and it was something I always wished my 04 had.

If you are going to listen to music from your phone, use blue tooth. Its far less glitch that using a USB cable to your phone. I tired using my itunes through the USB and it was horrible. Works great on blue tooth.

Does anybody else's navigation always seem to take you the longest way possible. I used it to drive back from Raleigh NC this weekend. I know the way but wasn't sure the best way to get back to
Interstate 40.

I pretty much live right off 40 but interstate 40 and interstate 85 merge about 30 mins from my house and it always wants to send me down 85 which takes me way out of the way. It did the same thang when I went to the beach this summer. It tried to take me down 85 and I have never even gone close to 85 in 20 years of driving to the beach.
