I’ve had my truck for almost a year and 14,500 miles now. I’m still
In love with this truck. I just had my inspection and everything is wearing very nicely and uniform. Even the stock tires are 7/32 all around and I only rotated them once. Brakes and shocks were as good as they get.

My mpg dropped to 16-17 average but it’s winter and I let the truck warm up for 10-15 minutes every day and my commute has changed. It’s almost 50/50 highway and back roads now. I wish I had better mirrors for when I tow my boat but I may add those at some point this year along with a cap.

I wish my truck got any where close to those mpg’s! Best I’ve ever seen is 13 on the highway; usually averages 11-12...... Lol!

24,500 miles on my truck now.
Oil was just changed at 24007 miles and a new air filter installed. Everything looked good when I had the oil changed at the dealership.

Started the truck up yesterday and wouldn’t you know it, I have a bad lifter. I thought this problem
Was addressed by now and the dealership did say it’s rare these days. I’m scheduled to go in to the dealer next week and drop it off Tuesday night and they will have it until further notice.

I’m hoping the warranty covers everything since I have all the receipts for everything done and it’s been exclusively maintained by the dealer so far. Bought the truck st Patrick’s day 2018. Wish me luck! I hope I don’t need it.

Just updating this thread. The dealer said they couldn’t reproduce the noise I heard and had recorded on video. The truck now as 31700 miles and I just replaced the factory tires with hankook dynapro at2.

The truck is back in the shop today with tapping and rough idle. Hopefully they actually fix it this time but I don’t know that I’ll be keeping the truck for the long haul.
