The mirrors on that thing are unbelievable, I don't know if I can go back to towing anything without them. The only downside to the truck is the torque and incredible comfort at speed, which makes you want to drive it fast. We took it (without the boat) to a tournament in Michigan. 4 people and bed completely full ski and camping gear combined with trying to get there and back as quick as possible netted about 11-12mpg on a 750 mile round trip.

Good luck on the sale Denis, you didn't have that truck for long. Trying to turn a profit?
Nope, happy to get my $$ out of it. I've made a few capital improvements since I bought it. It's a fantastic truck but unfortunately I cannot afford to keep it right now. Also not really using it to tow anything.

Waterski team? Dude, that rocks. A cousin of my Dad's was a famous waterskier back in the day, he got in the Guiness book of records for skiing the entire length of the Mississippi in the 1950s.
