Default First drive with the new truck in the rain

If you arent paying attention the damn thing will get away from you for sure. I dont know if its just because of all the weight over the front end, or the tune with how much low end tq the diesel makes or a combination of both but anything over 30% throttle and it gets sideways. On the other hand 4hi launches(drifts) are alot of fun. Im liking the truck more and more. And my wheels came in today, they will be on tomorrow hopefully

Brad, answer your phone I called you back earlier.

Its the same way when I got my new mega cab. You will get use to it and be able to make the diesel lag a little bit and control it. I love em man!!!!!! Smoke shows are fun!!!
