I got my 08 new in 09. It was a left over and diesels were not selling at the time. It is a 2W drive ext cab. MSRP was $42,000 and I paid $28,000. I have 25K on her at this time and she looks new. I did have to replace the drivers side window motor and power lock. I drove it off the lot and have not been back. I do my own maintenance and use Mobil1 oil and a good quality oil and fuel filter. She takes 10 quarts for an oil change. My truck is %100 stock with no mods. I get 18 to 20 mph highway at 70 mph. 15 to 16 around town. 13.5 to 11.5 towing 6000 pounds. I tow at 63 mph. I also have a LEER truck cap that is flush with the cab. I live in Florida with small hills so your towing experience may be different. I like to stop every 200 to 250 miles so the fuel tank is ok for me. At the time I could have purchased a 4W drive but did not want the extra weight and maintenance. Also in 37 years in Florida I have never needed 4W drive. I also only drive in the hot Florida heat/humidity and never have driven in temps below 20 degrees.
Hey Miltvill, you got a great deal on your truck! I've got a TC23QB also. I'll bet you can't even tell it's back there! I'm going to sell mine and get a bigger trailer but I've enjoyed mine for quite a few years now. It was my intro to rv'ing and I'm glad I bought it.
