Default 17 3.5 eco 10 speed


Hey, new member here. I just purchased this 17 xlt 3.5 10 speed. I've only had the chance to put about a 100 miles on it so far. So feel free to ask any questions you may have. I know there's not a lot of posts about the new 3.5 and 10 speed yet. If I could describe the experience so far in one word it would be AWESOME. Sorry that the picture isn't complete I'm not a good photographer.

Very nice looking truck. Wish I had the new 3.5 EB but the '16 still just amazes me each time I drive it.

Beautiful truck, congratulations I'd like to hear your thoughts on the 3.5, 10 speed combo after you get some miles on her.

I've got close to 300 miles on it, at first the shifts were a little rough occasionly. But the more I've drove it they have smoothed out a lot. I expect it to get even better the more I drive it. Overall I'm really impressed with the engine and transmission, it's really impressive. The mpg so far is great this tank is showing 21.5 mostly highway, I know the display isn't exactly accurate. It's really powerful it puts the 1st gen 3.5 eco to shame on my opinion.

Also in my opinion I would say it's the fastest stock truck made. Its crazy the amount of torque it has. The funny thing is I haven't even tried sport mode yet.
