That's pretty much like my truck. Being the 5.9 (360) V-8, fuel mileage isn't great. Mine is 4X4 also. Does it really have the HD sspension? You can tell by looking into the rear wheel well at the springs. My truck has the 8800 pound chassis package (that will be on a sticker in the glove box, under the hood or in the door) and there are three spring packs on the axle. Empty, it rides like a log wagon.
Mine was a commercial farm truck before I got it and had a new plastic bedliner in the bed. It was there to cover the dents and scratches from heavy use. I pulled it out as things were always sliding around in the bed. I do wish mine was an extended cab though. The step rails are almost a neccessity. I'm 6 foot and the steps are handy for me. For shorter people, they're a must have.
