Bags installed!! Can’t really see much from the videos but I think they’re going to kick ass! And I really like the compressor setup!

So I just talked a friend that’s in the same line of work as me. We were working for the same customer today. His company just went to Chevy trucks from Ram. They have two new Chevy trucks with that turbo 4 popper and both have had engine trouble and left them on the side of the road. That really sucks bad because they said the Ram trucks were great even though they were Pentastar models.

I knew the 1st Gen (or whatever they were called) didn't really deliver on the fuel economy side of it, but I thought the newer ones were doing better? Maybe not.

Gotta give Ford credit: Those EB's put out like a drunk whore. There is a reg cab (poss 2wd) at the chase just up the road. Kinda wonder how well it does burnouts.

The name is misleading... I tell everyone that it’s either eco or boost, but not both!

Also, both trucks were only three weeks old.

I keep hearing mileage numbers. They aren’t usually all that accurate if done by the vehicle. My Father was telling me awhile back his Gm product was getting 24 and I called bs. He later actually checked it at 19.some are better then others but some people will be further off with same vehicle as someone else with a different pattern.

Mine is all kinds of terrible right now.. 7 hours and 3 or 4 of that at idle.. my mpg is showing like 12 per gallon. Lol

My last truck was pretty damn accurate on the road and it’s truly amazing how much idling kills the computer lifetime mpg. I wish there were an option for just moving mpg vs moving and at rest.

Does it have a " remember the kids are in the backseat" warning?

It may.. I’ve cussed this mother f***er several time for all the warnings and alarms.. it locks the doors when you hit 12mph and then doesn’t unlock them unless you are in park and turn the truck off. f***ing drives me insane... especially when you go to open the tail gate and it’s f***ing locked! there’s no way to turn it off from the drivers seat unless thru FORScan. The last truck I could disable auto lock. I can’t in this one. There’s noticeably more tech than even the 15 version.

My Chevy gauge couldn't even lie and get it close to what was on the window sticker... Best I could get was 14MPG at 70MPH on the interstate with cruise set, window was 21 or 23 can't remember.

I use an app called Fuelly with all my vehicles for service logs and mileage. My numbers are all hand calculated.

I’ve never understood the obsession with fuel mileage logs or the need to brag (often very inflated, I’ve pointed out before) about mpg on a pickup.

For business vehicles okay, but for personal I don’t get it.

The variance from pump to pump is enough to toss hand calculations by full digits.

At the end of the day I know exactly what it costs overall (fuel, maint,etc) to operate my truck without wasting my time on minor details. I also know why I have it ( cause I want it!) and it honestly makes no financial sense.

Off my soap box now.

I'm saying the new Titan looks like it fell out of an ugly tree and hit every limb...

As a 2017 Titan owner I agree when my co-workers asked how did I like it when I drove it to work the first words was it's ugly and will have to grow on me. Well a year later it's still ugly next year it will be a Ford F250, F350 or F450 haven't made up my mind yet I'm looking for a unicorn I have only seen one a King Ranch with 4 captain chairs instead of the bench.
