    Well, I’m impressed with the ride of this truck, weighed in 29500 with my trailer.
    So 1500 less, but I didn’t have to do any fancy blindside backing, so that was a plus in my opinion.
    Be nice if this truck had a fan override, one switch I didn’t look for.

    AC so cold in here it makes one hurt.
    This is on 1.

    I hope your teasing me. Rotatate the hot cold knob. Adjust the AC that way.

    We can’t add heat in the summer... just climb down and it’s insta-sweat.

    It is more like trying to drive on a hockey rink with a truck. Mud u get traction. Snow and ice . The road is constantly changing. Have to be concentrating on whats going on underneath ur tires and aware of what the idiots are doing around you. Some areas of the country are more prone for the road to ice up . Oregon gets really bad with ice as does iowa and nebraska and wyoming. Then you have the wind to deal with which to me is the most dangerous . I never liked wind. But it gets real bad in them flat plains states. Just stuff u will learn by being out here . Ive never not been nervous running thru a winter storm. Never scared. But nervous, definatly. More so with the idiots around me , thinking they will run into me.
