GOT IT!!! SWEET!! Though I didn't get mine before they were manufactured like MM49:), it's setting in the driveway now...took it on a short trip from dealership onto interstate towards where I work and back, (about 38-40 miles round trip)....going by the EVIC, (which I don't, but can compare the EVIC info on the 12 to the EVIC info on the 13').....the 12, with 3800 miles on it would generally get a little over 14 mpg or a little more going to and from work..this truck had about 17 miles on it and round trip, going by EVIC was went over 16, till I got off interstate and got into stop and go traffic, ended up at 15.7...just looking at the EVIC between the two, this one got over 1.5 mpg more already....(I'll know better once I've driven it and refilled). Just got finished putting my toolbox in the bed of the truck
I SWEAR this truck is quieter than the 12' and I SWEAR it drives smoother than the 12..am I just telling myself that??? Don't think so, the wife even made the same comment, (made me feel better :)).
Got some power...It's got the 5er prep package and has covers over the holes in the bed. I don't have to tow until I figure out how to make the prep package work. Camper is on my lot in WV, but I'm REALLY anxious to hook up and go, (supposed to head to the beach in August)......we'll see what we see.
the Display is HUGE...you can do so many different things with it...I'm still learning. The dash display is also different...kind of "cocky" looking.
Again, as soon as I can, I'll take some pictures and get someone to help me post them:)
thought I'd let you know...hey, it is a great looking truck, it has the projector headlights and a different great looking chrome grill.......
I'll keep you posted............SON, it's NICE truck....(see sig third post up^^^):B
I believe you when you say it feels like it rides smoother. It's probably due to the front 3 link suspension (large swing arms) vs. the original 5 link suspension (small swing arms)that has a harsh ride.
My 11 has the same suspension as Jim's 12, it is no way HARSH. So the 13 must be like riding on a cloud!
