I knew I wanted an STX because it fit my budget. Anything besides those was a bonus.

I notice a lot mentioning the extended 36-gallon gas tank. That was originally in my list too, but so was the Powerboost (mostly for the better MPG). For some reason the two aren't compatible. :(

Sport package, blackout , nice stock rims so dark 20", love em

back seat for 3 (5 total) so center console so super cab 145" (157, handling?, seems too long to park too lol)

Subdued American flag, Detroit map, so no XL, etc

Nice adds I got:

Kinda wish I got:

yeah that would have been on mine if not for the PB. The battery for the PB is just ahead of the gas tank so they had to shorten the tank. On the flip side of that though, I got 30mpg for my trip to drop off the dogs this morning, which with my 2.7L would have been an 18 or so mpg trip since there’s so much stop and go. I’m pretty confident this PB will blow away most 36 gallon trucks in at least city driving. I think highway won’t be quite as good as the motor benefits aren’t as easily utilized.
