  1. I just refilled my DEF first time since I bought the truck. 5300 miles exactly. Put 5gallons in and it over flowed a little at the end. About 750 miles of the 5300 was towing a 5,000 trailer.
  2. I track all my mileage via Fuelly. My last tank was 604 miles all at 75-80 mph commuting with no traffic this week. Averaged 25mpg. 2020 AT4, standard bed, 18s without the duratracs
  3. There’s a bunch of people running them without issue according to them. Mine was contacting at full droop. I checked with it full droop and it barely touches. I’d go with a top spacer if you want more than 1”.
  4. Had this same problem with the 1.5”. Got my money back and ordered up a 1”.
  5. Heat gun and some fishing line. Almost all of the adhesive came off with the badges. Just used some goo gone to clean it up afterwards.
  6. I’d be willing to bet it will be substantially easier to replace than most timing belts. No timing required for the belt. “Just” pull the tranny back a few inches and pull the flex plate and cover. New belt and reverse. Pretty hard to mess that up.
  7. Thought I would throw out my experience from picking up my truck this weekend. Ordered an AT4 with a standard bed. Drove it just over 600 miles from Idaho to California today. To start, this thing is super smooth. Like so smooth, my girl didn’t even know it was running when she got into it today. The 3.0 has tons of torque down low which makes it pull pretty good. No problems at any speed. The 10 speed is amazing as well. Never seemed like it was searching for a gear which I feel like the 6 and 8 did. Seems to always be in the right gear and ready to go. Ran it at 70-80mph the entire way and averaged 24.5mph(calculated). Was in the low 20s for the start(higher speed) and high 20s at the end(lower speed and down hill). This is with only 2 spirited runs. Tried to keep the throttle steady. Got the adaptive CC and it’s nice. My girls 2019 RAV4 hybrid has it and it is super smooth. The one on the truck slows more abruptly and accelerates like it’s in a race which is annoying. Still happy I got it. Over all, truck is awesome and I’m really pleased with it. I would definitely suggest this motor to anyone looking.
  8. How often do they want the oil changed in the 3.0?
  9. I wonder if the dealer you order through would just swap parts with a standard SLT? They get an order and a free lift kit for another truck
  10. I think it’s comical that the guy sees the coolant temp keeps climbing so he keeps driving. Then is probably upset when it breaks
  11. That’s why I ordered with the standard tires. Didn’t spend 50k+ on a truck to hear roaring tires.
  12. Did you get the more aggressive tires?
  13. If the financing doesn’t expire till 3/2, you’ll have nothing to worry about. They get the vin pretty quick but I certainly wouldn’t do anything until it’s for sure in transit. You don’t want to do paperwork on a truck that ends up sitting at the factory for a month for whatever reason.
  14. I put in my order in on Dec 5 and got it accepted on Dec 19th. Build date is this week 1/6. 2020 AT4, 3.0l, Driver alert packages.
  15. When I was shopping in November, I had salesman tell me: -1500 diesel didn’t exist -it’s a duramax/Allison so it will last forever -It’s a 1500 but can pull like a 2500 with the diesel -1500 diesels don’t exist -these Allison transmissions are indestructible -they will get 40mpg -you can’t get leather without a sunroof. 98% of them don’t know about the cars they are selling because they are too busy BSing with each other and playing on their phone.
  16. Your first problem is listening to a salesman.
  17. Looks great with the factory wheels
  18. Anyone with an AT4 3.0? I have one on order and curious what real world fuel mileage is.
  19. Thanks for that awesome review. I ordered a truck with the 3.0 and this makes me more excited for one.
