    Who's getting a new truck. A few drivers I know already got their 2013 12 speed automatic trucks.

    I got a 2014 with a 12 speed I-shift. So far I like it, but way smaller than the Cascadia we were in...maybe too small.

    How is it adjusting to the new transmission? Also, APU's? (I'd imagine not, but figured I'd ask...)
