    So, I drove her! First i.pressions:

    -ride is quieter, not sure if because tires aren't aired to 48psi.
    -comfort is very comfortable! Power seats,who would've thought! In a truck!
    -gauges are all different, felt harder to get used to. Maybe because I was used to my deep wells. Everything felt in different places! Tachometer was very hard to judge how much rpms I'm using. Felt less accurate.
    -engine sounds louder and almost diesel like while idling. Loving it!!
    -transmission felt VERY smooth, some gear shifts you can't even tell unless you hear rpm drop and watch tach needle, but engage/disengage can be felt much more pronounced. More abrupt than mine. Probably because more powerful engine?
    -engine braking is a lot more pronounced as well. You lose speed quicker. Very truckery-like.
    -it was harder to reach 2000rpm during acceleration. She just wants to go sooner, so I never felt the need to go past 2k on the needle. In fact, most of normal acceleration can be achieved getting up to 1500-1600rpm!
    -rear visibility felt very poor compared to mine. I have single panel glass and no rear seats, so it's wide open. Here, i had those separation bars on rear glass for that open window and also rear seat headrests were blocking a lot of view. Those bars in window and headrests combined, made me very uneasy backing away. There is rear camera, but I couldn't get used to looking forward when maneuvering backward. Very nervous.
    -also, power mirrors? Wow! I liked that! Granted, on my pickup I never had to adjust them after initial setup, but if you have more than one human driving the truck, this could prove useful!

    Overall, great truck! Very smooth and yet- "truckery"! That v8, nothing can compare. What a motot! The sound alone, I could listen to her for hours going 55! Great truck!
