Here's a couple of the new truck, probably the last truck pics I'll ever post in the 3rd Gen section.

The coils all around are amazing! You would never think you're driving a truck well over 7000 lbs. capable of towing ovef 17,000 lbs. Obviously not as nimble as a 4th gen 1500 coil truck but significantly better ride than any leac sprung truck I've driven...

Crappy pic of new truck I took tonight after work:

Hammer...is the color maximum steel. I have a 14 that color and I think it's the best color they have this year

Window sticker says Granite Crystal Metallic. I like the color but it's not like I had much choice. Of the three dealers within 80 miles of me, I only had two trucks to pick from, this and a black SLT. Every other truck was either a Tradesman, which was to baren inside for a daily driver IMO, or crazy priced Laramies which even after discounts and rebates were still over $60k...

I'm not familiar with that color but it does look good. Will try to find one that color at the dealership on my next visit. Congrats on the new truck
