The ride is great and they are quiet.  They are not noticeably louder than the Bridgestone Duelers I replaced them with, which was surprising to me.

I’ve had mine for a month now, about to hit 6000 miles. Added a set of eBay special nerf bars and an Undercover Elite bed cover.86e5fe195ea52f826801aee4749ac331.jpg

Work in process. A basic lt but a 3 inch leveling kit with 20x12 wheels. Installed ltz headlamps and tail lamps with original tow mirrors sent new front and rear bumpers and mirror caps to paint then I will install grill pictured below (I just received it and it is WOW). I could have bought an ltz z71 but I already have one and it wouldn't be this fun. In my opinion nicest color available.61b8d3a5dd4eadd0029a348b9c578a90.jpga448d582c26b8a1f3fa26ba723b891e9.jpgb078d01ccec23cf7f91b238a48a25e0d.jpg

Us graphite colored Silverado/Sierra owners have a unique color that is a chameleon when the sun hits it. I mainly see this as a gray color but then when sun hits it in some ways I see a green and even a blue greenish at times too.

Funny, at the dealer, my brother and I both saw a green tint to the color. Then we got home and it was in direct sunlight and everyone thought it looked like it had a blue tint, so I know what you mean!

Here's my 2018 Dmax with about 25 miles on the odo.  A lot of the pictures in this thread show the paint in a darker setting so I wanted to add a few in bright sunshine to show the other side.

    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
