yeah. At least until the warranty is expired. There is no tuning on the 11’s and up anyway.

Well this truck is pretty badass…just towed a 20’ enclosed trailer to Richmond VA and back for a race this weekend. Trailer weighs a hair over 8k lbs with the car in it. Averaged 9.5 in the mountains and 11.5 on the flats for mileage and was able to keep a steady 70mph. Thought that was pretty good for a 1500 RC/SB pulling a 4 ton brick.

That is good milage loaded. My d-max only managed 12-14 last trip I took down state. Granted that was on winter fuel and a very heavy 28 footer.

They doing anything at airborne this year?
