how you can tell how cold it is outside just by trying to unlock your doors.

The "pleasant" vibration I feel through the gas pedal at moderate acceleration. I didn't even have to pay extra for it!

On a positive note I absolutely love the Sport 20" wheels. Best looking wheels out there IMO.

My true surprise is how many problems and build quality issues it has, I mean coming from 2 Rams that were supposed to be junk that did not give me any trouble at all and owned ea for 6 years to say the least I am very surprised. Also im surprised that the light aluminum turbo v6 gets worst MPG then my heavy 09 Hemi.

On the good side I was surprised with how peppy they are in sport mode.

Mine (3.5 eco) gets about 25% better milage on average than my 2011 Ram Hemi. Same daily driving as before getting about 20 now, was getting about 16 in the Ram. Both 4x4, Ram had 3.92 Ford has 3.55. The milage has been a nice improvement for me.

I have noticed the cold does seem to drop the milage in the Ford more than is seemed to effect the Ram, but it is still averaging more than the Ram. Last tank with a lot of cold was 18.5 versus usually 20ish.

What I noticed on mine ( not that I have a problem) is the rubber grommet around the unlock peg is too tight and can stall the unlock process. Not to sure what to recommend as rubber can swell when wrong lube is applied to it

The fact that I was finally able to afford one within my current budget!

Thanks to all the incentives last fall, and a great lease offer from my local dealer, I was able to score a nicely optioned truck (see my sig below) for a few bucks more than my cr@ppy minivan!
