The wheels are part of the TRX package which I mainly got for the limited slip, but came with some other goodies...wheels/tires & tow hooks... not sure why it called TRX...

I'm already keeping track of the mileage. It looks like it got 19mpg on the first 350 miles (300 of that the trip down from VA)...

Yes the doors open all the way up... I don't know what they changed for this but it is very nice...

I didn't really go out of my way for the bucket seats they just happened to be on the model I found that I liked. They have the 6 way power adjustable drivers seat and adjustable lumbar support. I really like the console, it has tons of storage... So far I like them a bunch...

There are a few other things that I'm impressed with so far... I really like the Sirius radio, very nice, and the stock sound is pretty decent and will give me time to deal with other things before I delve into the sound system..

The instrument cluster looks really nice and is easy to read, nicely done...

The Luxury steering wheel is very nice, much nicer than the one in the stripped down 6 speed I test drove...

All in all I'm really pleased with it... Friday I'm getting the bed liner and tonneau cover for it...

yea, mine do. if i were to take out the frt seats you would be able to slide a 4 x 8 sht of ply wood in. dont really know why my truck has this. i looked at the way the hindges were set up and they have that funny bend to them . dont know if this was a mistake at the factory or just an experimental thing.

I would like to know more about the hinges. It appears the 05 is capable of having the doors open more than 90º. Could someone please post pictures of these hinges. This is something I would love to fix on my 05 truck. I hate the 90º limit.

One of the trucks I looked at the doors only opened 90 degrees. I can take pics of mine in the morning no problem ...
