I had the same truck only LongHorn and it was a 11.5 HO. I would still have it but the wife wanted even a larger MobileSuites. I said fine but I need a truck with more capacity and the rest is history.

Mt 11 was trouble free had 65K at trade with over 1/2 the miles towing. Use it as a truck NOT a grocery getter and it will be trouble free.
