Changing the oil would be good especially if the trucks been on the lot awhile. Mileage will get better with time,I can't give exact numbers, I'm sure somebodywill.

Sorry I have no pics yet, I just bought this thing home a couple days ago, have been looking at it for 4 months at the dealer and it became one of the last NEW early 07's left around here, I think it didn't sell cause it is a standard cab, I dig it anyway!! It is pulling slightly to the left, I checked the tire pressure and had 45 psi in front left and right, I called the dealer to get it back in there to make it right and won't get to it till monday!! AAARRRGGGG!!! I will be using it for hauling cars, motorcycles, trailers, and whatever else I can haul with it to make a buck, thanx for the warm welcome, I will get pics asap!! this thing makes the ordinary Jeep Cherokee look like a Pinto station wagon!! its a huge beast, needs nerf bars and bed caps, any leads??? Dave

hey dave... welcome to df...

we want to see pics...!!! mileage will increase over time... if you can haul a heavy load it will shorten the time some... meantime, give it 500 miles or so then drive it like you stole it.
