Thanks Blake. I don't know if I would say I'm "proud" of my truck... I definitely respect it's capabilities though. Other than fuel economy these things are pretty much perfect all-around performers. They'll haul and tow and go off-road and power through snow and then do 70+ for hours on the freeway.
