    Well, today's the day. Sign and drive, lol. And they have upgraded to a winter storm warning with 5-7 inches of show today. Might not be driving my new truck today after all!

    Lots of upgrades from my company truck. Chrome outside and wood trim everywhere inside. Airbags on the front axle. DD15, not a DD16 like I was told. Diesel APU. DEF system, not DPF.

    More to come, so cold outside had to come in for a while.

    Truck looks to be in great shape for being three years old. Lots of upgrades from my company truck. Does have the DD15 not the DD16 like I was told. Has DEF. Has front axle airbags. Has diesel APU. Inside had lots of wood trim, leather sidewalls in the sleeper bunk, and carpet in the bunk area (not sure how I feel about that yet.) Tons more gauges than my co truck. Fog lights. Qualcomm is mounted right next to passenger seat, not sure about that yet either.

    More to come...

    !3 speed I saw in the last photo, which is good, and I doubt it doesn't have a DPF, every truck I've looked at that uses diesel fuel produced since the 2008 model year has a particulate filter.

    I hear those seats are better than the standard seats, and the driver's side probably swivels. What year is it?

    It's a 2011 and it has DEF. Driver's seat does swivel.

    Looks great! thanks for the pics, but I don't like the Qualcomm all the way over there. Going to make looking at the Nav kinda hard.
