    New Flash?

    Last week I took my truck to the Dealer with the tailgate recall, and there was another one but dont remember what it was the end of the day I picked it up and it always drove fine, but now it is much better, more power, a more crisp throttle just feels nicer, I have a feeling there was a re...

    Something is not designed correctly

    After owning my 2012 now for just under one year, there is something that the designers screwed up on, this may be small, but it drives me nuts. On the door map pockets, or storage compartments on the doors, when you place something in them, example a stack of maps, go to pull one out, there is...

    Funny story about a Ferd

    This morning I am towing the 5th wheel on I-40 just east of Barstow, going west.

    First Tow with Max Tow Pkg 3500 Impressions

    My 2012 has 2000 miles, this was my first tow with the new truck, my old one was a 2005 4x4 3500 SRW 48RE built trans, and a Smarty on level 3, so this is what I can compare it to. First the truck is very quite, no wind noise at all, the seats are fantastic, very comfortable, the dash layout is...
