the first thing that will boggle your mind is the torque. when I burry the throttle into the floor board doing 1600rpm in 5th, my truck begins to shake, the truck leans to the right, turbo hits 35# of pressure by 1700rpm and your planted into the seat. the next thing that will hit you is the fuel mileage, many here are getting close, or right at 20mpg, which for an 8000 pound truck is VERY good since you are basiacly driveing something with the aerodynamics of a 10 foot brick wall

Lots of my buddies drive SUV's that don't get 12 MPG.. they are burried in their lease and cry everytime they see me get 19MPG on the HWY. I hear it all the time " lets take your truck "
The CTD from today are so much more efficient. You are going to love it... I garantee it.
