Overall it's a nice truck. It rides well, is comfy, and has almost every bell and whistle. Almost everything seems to be at 90% of my expectations. The transmission is constantly searching, and the entertainment system already seems dated.

My favorite truck I have owned but does have some drawbacks. First, if you can’t jump a curb without popping a tire and bending a rim, then 22” rims don’t belong on a truck. The $2k to replace the magna ride shocks made me a little upset because you have to replace both front at same time and the regular shocks were $70. However, the ride quality is superb and handling when towing is excellent. Second, at 125000 miles I had to replace rods and lifters over $6k. That being said I have enjoyed the powerful 6.2 v8 a lot and getting 22mpg on the highway is nice. The 8 speed transmission has been kinda rough and clanks into gear sometimes even since it was new but it’s still going strong at 135k mi. Wish the gps and apple play would connect without a cord because sometimes it won’t work but cleaning or replacing cord fixes the issue. Lastly, why would they make a crew cab without rear air? I constantly have to direct my vents off of me for rear passengers. Overall, the powerful 6.2, towing, ride comfort, gas mileage, and luxury have made this my favorite truck to ever own.
