Love this truck ..

Love it ! Pulls my 1700 lb boat like it’s not even there . Great on gas while towing as well . I’d like to have a backup camera but the Bluetooth and CarPlay is cool ..

So disappointing

I was so excited to finally get my dream truck! It's just been down hill from there though. From the dealer swapping my side mirror to s broken one that I had to go back and luckily got replaced with a new one to the clunking somewhere in the driveline shifting from v4-v8 and now seeing the paint chipping and pealing off every time I turn around it's quite the sad affair. I'm trying to not let myself get to down about it and just know that the next time I'm in the market for my next 50k 60k truck it's definitely not going to be from the General. It certainly is drop dead gorgeous and drives like a dream but clunking and speaking around town with the paint coming off every time a leaf hits it is just unacceptable. I'll be getting a Tundra next.

Looks like how a truck should look

Crew Cab 4x4, lots of rear legroom, plenty of space up front. This truck looks and feels like truck should. Very smooth drive (70mph on the freeway) and good off road clearance

If I could keep this truck, I definitely would.

Smoothest ride, excellent performance, always reliable, and it looks xxxx good. The only reason I'm selling is I had 2 trucks to perform 2 jobs, now I have one to do both jobs. I had to get one truck to pull the 5th wheel AND be able to haul a large truck camper. This 1/2 ton did a great job pulling the 5th wheel.
