She's getting broke in
It doesn't look like much but the gross weight of the truck and trailer is over 36000 lbs. The truck handles it noticeably better than the '11 did.... I'm especially impressed with the new one's...

It looks pretty good. Interesting how it handles the load better than the 2011. Do you still have your 2011?
The extra 40 ponies is noticeable when pulling that much weight but the biggest difference between the '11 and the '16 is the way the exhaust brake of the 2016 can hold back a 28000 lb trailer. The '11 would hold back 15000 lbs adequately on relatively steep grades with a little driver input...(the driver had to slow the truck down enough to allow the truck to drop into 2nd gear...once in second it would hold back quite well).
The 2011 just sold a few days ago. The new owner came from 2500 miles away.
