Engine Braking is Awesome

I just used my new pickup to go crosscountry skiing up in the local mountains. The roads were iced up good in some areas. I was really really impressed with the engine braking when I shifted into 2nd for the descents on ice. I can't wait to do some four wheeling up in the mountains later. This new 2004 already seems like it actually has engine braking effect with the Auto. I usually can't stand automatics in the mountains, but this baby may be changing the game. I love this pickup so fat. Has anyone else had a chance to crawl around in the hills yet?

I have a 2X4 and I have driven 1400 miles so far... but I still get excited everytime I get behind the wheel... Its awesome I get this feeling that everyones checks me out at intersections when I'm first in line. oh well guess its just me... man its been like Christmas everyday... I still can't believe its in "MY" garage...

Well; it's not in "MY" garage.

My garage is exactly 19' long, the truck is 19' 2" long.
I'd have to remove one of the bumpers to get it in. LOL

LOL you and me both. I tried a couple of times to get mine into my one-car itty-bitty garage. No way.
