I really like mine. King Ranch dually, loaded. I got the 4.10 axle which is overkill for the 16K fiver I pull, but am covered if I go bigger. Tow technology camera system is great. 360 view makes it nice when backing in as you can see what is right beside your passenger side. Makes hooking up fiver easy as you can watch hitch and then zoom in when needed. Adaptive cruise is slick. Set your speed and the distance you want to keep from vehicle in front and it does the rest. Slows when it comes up on vehicle, you change lanes and it goes back to set speed. Adaptive steering makes a big difference when backing in camper as it shortens the amount you need to turn wheel. Blind spot monitoring is nice as you can use it when towing and it will also monitor trailer. Interior is really nice and the massaging seats work great. Got the full roof moonroof and it really opens up the truck when full view. The new "manstep" is now integrated into the tailgate and not part of the outside so it makes loading stuff if you have to slide it easier, but the step still works great.
The truck has more than enough power with the new increase in torque. The 2 stage exhaust break works very well. You can set it to manual where it will slow. In auto mode it will hold the speed you set it at. There is still alot of stuff I could go over, but you get the point, they did a good job on this truck.
I don't know if it would be called a bad, but I have lost about 1 MPG from my 2012. But it had less HP and torque and was a 3.73 rear end. Figure the 4.1 is the biggest cause and with the added HP and torque I figure not a problem.
