Just got this last month..:happy107:20161115_144804_resized.jpgTraded in my 2013...it feels tighter and taller than my 13...Hecho en Mexico...seems to built better overall...front window tint and splash guards will be only mods for now...came with LineX and got running boards via the FIA Mobility deal...anybody know what subtle differences are on 17`s..6speed tranny even feels better.

If it's a 17 you don't have a six speed you now have an electrOnic 8 speed. So it starts out a little rough but it will calibrate itself.

You must at least have different gears then, huge difference when I drive my friends truck with 3.92's. 20's are better for the street handling and stuff, 17's better for the dirt, and look more like a 4x4 if you had a bigger tire. Honestly, I prefer 17's. Problem is those *** rims, yeah I have the same *** rims on my 2010. Plasti Dip does wonders.
