The one BIGGIE IMHO that sucks is the 32 gallon tank!

the first thing that comes out is the stock tank. I'll put a titan 55 gal replacement in, with 7600# of payload I think I can carry a couple extra gallons of fuel.

back to the drawing board GM

Back to the drawing board for what? I think I would wait and see what the Ram does going up Ike. If the Ram embarrasses GM and Ford, I would be inclined to agree. That has yet to happen on any run I have seen since they started the test, typically the Ram is number 2 or 3, but who knows maybe this is Ram's year. I think it will be interesting to see what the Ram fan boys say about the CP4 pump. Only Idaho has stuck to his guns. I bet there will be a rethinking about what a POS it is, now that Ram is using it.

The reality is I feel all these new trucks kind of fall under the same category as the 700+ horsepower cars. There is a relative small subset that can take full advantage of the potential. Just because you have the cash to purchase doesn't mean they have the skills and temperament to hook up to 30k lbs or run that 10 second quarter mile. Modern vehicles have surpassed the average consumers pay grade in a lot of instances.
