16 was a 5.3 with 6 speed slt premium package, over all no complaints. This one so far has been good, its another 5.3 with the 8 speed this time. Has a little over 4k miles on it now. My only complaint is the auto start/stop which I always try to disable before I start driving. Can't go wrong with the 6.2/10spd. 

Get the Autostop Eliminator. Takes a little while to install but well worth it.

Canmaverick....gorgeous looking rig !!!   Great wheel choice.  White and black you can never go wrong.   Fellow Canadian here.....where ya from?  I’m half hour north of Toronto.  Haven’t seen many of the long box crew cab configuration out here much.   How ya liking it so far?

Thanks! So far I’m real happy with her!! Big jump from my last truck! 

I’m from out west, in Edmonton, I haven’t seen many out there as well. Kind of like having one of the few out there right now!

Picked up my crew cab standard box RST on Thursday. Couldn't be happier. Love the shape of the hood from the driver's seat and just the overall styling and design of the exterior. And I actually like the layout of the interior, looks far better in person than in pictures. The truck is missing a few things that my 15 LTZ had, but I like the look and color far more.

 

Woke up Friday morning and pulled it out of the garage just to stare at it in the sunlight. And also to let my 2 year old son play in the cab and bed, haha

Ron,

 

I know this an older post but I was curious as to how your tires ride and sound.  I'm looking at Ridge or Terra Grapplers.. can't decide which way to go.

 

Thanks

Tires ride great... I have zero regrets... Next time I’m stepping up to 35s with a lift...

It went on a camping trip with about 200 miles on it.  It's currently at the dealership for the bakflip tonneau I ordered previously (felt lazy and didn't want to do the install this time).  It also had leather installed, plus I had tints added to match the rear and a windshield visor strip added.  It's getting there already!

ceramic coating around here runs $999 - 1999. definitely worth it, but hard to fork over on a new vehicle.

 

Has anyone applied it themselves with much luck?

Hey, this is has probably already been answered,but I use gtech ceramic 5 or 7 year coating for mine. Ive used it in the past with great success. It is tedious but well worth it. Spray down, iron-x remove, rinse, wash, rinse, clay bar. Re-wash then panel wipe it and apply.

How do you like driving the long bed? Looking at ordering one but can’t decide standard or short bed.

To me it's a regular bed.. It's the 6.5' . The tiny little bed that comes on The Crew Cabs is way too small for me especially with a toolbox mounted

Honestly doesn’t feel much different from my 2010 crewcab short bed. The backup camera makes parking easier actually. Love the standard bed. I needed a bit more room last night hauling some doors for my brother

Put in a B and W gooseneck hitch in. With a gooseneck adaptor.

Did you have to use an offset ball for the hitch for that? I just installed a B&W gooseneck hitch to mine and I was wondering If I could clear the back of the cab on a 90 degree turn. I have plenty of room with a regular gooseneck flat bed.

    • I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!     
    • Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
    • If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
    • It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
    • JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
