Picked up the new truck today.
Holy widgets and doodah's! It's gonna take a month of sittin' in the driveway twiddlin' dials and pushin' buttons to figure everything out. The 7.3 gas engine with the 10 speed tranny moves it right out.

You boys must all be high rollers. I'm fixin' the AC on my '94 F250 right now so it can make a trip to CA.
…….And here's yer Jake Brake. In the picture there's two cylinders worth of Comealong (Cummins) engine brake.

No jakes on these trucks. If diesel they have exhaust brakes plus trailer tow mode. GM will downshift when brakes are applied and exhaust brake is active. Don't know about the other brands.
Gasoline engine trucks have trailer mode only which uses the transmission for braking.
I have a 2011 Dodge 550 with 6.7 diesel and manual transmission. You would be amazed at how well the exhaust brakes works in any gear.

They're 275/70R18's, load range E. I had the option of going with 20's but they were a bunch more money and really not worth it just to look fancy.
With the 18" wheels you get a taller tire side wall than with the 20's, which equals a smoother ride.
I had to have the 20's because they look cool, and then drove my sisters exact truck as mine and hers has 18's.
The ride is better with the 18's when comparing.
I would not have believed it would be that big a difference, but found it much better ride with the 18's.

Handling is better with the 20's, because of the lower sidewall, but that really wasn't even a consideration for us. It's a truck, not a sports car!

Passed one last week, back bumper almost dragging on road and I could have walked under the front bumper. One the most foolish things I ever saw. But to each their own I guess.
Not sure but may be illegal in many states.
Carolina Squat is illegal in South Carolina. Legal definition ''THREE INCHES''. More than 3'' higher in front than back you get a ticket😪
