In search of a better truck for towing the M6060 and folding cutter.

It was a beautiful day today, so the pup and I took the truck for a 120 mile drive around the lake this afternoon. It's only the second time I've driven the truck, and 2-1/2 hours in this thing was revealing. Everything about the drive exceeded my expectations, but I will need to look deeper into the "Lane Keeping System" which frankly is annoying. Fortunately it can be turned off, or one of three settings can be selected.

I removed the tinted strip from the windshield a couple of weeks ago, and I'm probably going to remove the tint from the front driver and passenger windows too. It's just too dark and I feel that it poses a safety risk, particularly when wearing sun glasses.

It's one of the most comfortable vehicles I've ever driven, and although I'm still in learning mode given the dizzying array of features, the overall driving experience today left me thinking that this is one heck of a truck. I tried out the seat cooling feature which is great, and the Bang & Olufsen 1000W, 14 speaker, factory sound system is pretty darn amazing. The engine and transmission are quiet, smooth and powerful. The ride can be a little choppy at times when the road surface isn't great, but overall it's very comfortable. I'm looking forward to pulling stuff with this truck over the coming months.

Glad you are enjoying the new truck. I don't know if you use the cruise control much, but I was surprised the first time I came up to a drop of speed on my route and the truck adjusted the speed down very quickly. Although, I do like the adaptive cruise control. The wife on the other hand, if the speedometer doesn't read 85, she isn't happy. I even told her we are in a school zone, she said those rug rats need to learn to stay out of the road.

She believes in tough love or at least that is what she tells me when she is throwing the punch (I'm joking of course).
