My tow mule came in yesterday. Wife says it needs black wheels. Got 22 mpg on the way to work today. Not bad for such a big truck and a full 36 gallon tank.

Looks good...that's great mileage for the first tank, what engine?

On a side note I checked the rebates for February and on my truck if it comes in by the end of the month the rebates are $750 more than when I ordered it. WooHoo!!

I just ordered some KO2's to celebrate!

I got a copy of the DORA for my new truck today but the dealer code on it doesn't work in COTUS, it's 5 characters and COTUS says that it has to be 6 characters. I guess I'll have to wait until I get a VIN to try COTUS again.

3.5 But my average is always high on the way into work. No traffic and back roads at 40 MPH. I'm sure it will be less on the way home.

What size are you going with? I hate these stock tires but since it's tow vehicle I don't want to get too crazy.

I have new pull off 20" SE wheels so I'm going with 285X65R20s. (34") I know they will kill my mileage and maybe some acceleration. I ordered 3.73's with that in mind. These are usually over or near $1500 a set.... I found a guy on Ebay selling what he called pull-offs for $1200 shipped. I thought I would take a chance to save $300. What's weird is as soon as bought the set he listed another set.

The guy has really good feedback even on another set of exactly the same tires. I'm not sure how he gets so many pull-offs. I'm wondering of BFG has rules where they can't lower the prices online so the guy gets around this by calling them pull-offs. They should be here by the weekend or early next week I'll report back on how they look.

Sorry guys we are getting off topic here.

My truck has been " In Production " for seven days. I understand the spray bed takes longer, but seven days and no movement to " Awaiting Shipment "
Has anyone that ordered their truck with the Spray Bed experience a long wait from In Production to Awaiting Shipment ?

If it's all numbers try putting an "F" in front of the digits.

I have the spray-in and mine was in production from the 10th to the 19th.
