Weird colour but a great truck with the correct engine choice and excellent utility. Congrats!

mpg will be great compared to the EXped.  Easy colour.  Nice choice.

Apparently I was wrong - its a 2012.

Well we drove it about 800-900 kms this weekend. Gas tank is huge. $113 for a fill of 3/4 of a tank. It does indeed go down the highway reasonably well. When the Mrs was driving it got about 18mpg. I managed to tease up to almost 21mpg when I was driving. Official rating is 19mpg highway. The power pedals are an interesting feature - I am not used to that level of gadgetry. I have to say I dislike the steering wheel though - quite uncomfortable to hold for hours on end. Not sure if its the material or position of the spokes or what.

Power pedals are the only reason my wife can drive our '01.  I like them since I can adjust them for winter boots.

A better picture after I filled it up. Wow - a big tank  :o I've paid less for running and driving cars before.

Nice choice. You can half an inch of dust caked on and it'll look clean with this colour.
