Damn nice, looks like your part the Ford Family. I sure you know this but this but if you stick around here you'll be dishing out thousands in modifications to your truck.

Much quieter inside and smoother riding. The Titan was quicker, but the difference is not as big as I expected...the 3.73 gears help, I did not have the low gears available on my Titan, so the difference off the line is negligable.

Of course, the KR interior is far superior than the Titan, and everything is much more solid inside, no rattles or anything like I had in the Titan.

I am pretty sure I will never look back and miss the other truck, this one is awesome!

Thats what I thought your impressions would be. After 40k + many miles towing, hauling and some offroad I dont have a single squeek or rattle.
First American vehicle I have owned with such great build quality. I'm sure you will enjoy your new ride glad its off to a great start

Thanks for the help, I will post up some pics if I get it!!
Hello Jason!

Just wanted to say I see your post every once in a while and it's great to have a owner of another vehicle who still comes here and contributes to this forum. Nice truck BTW, i was close to your neck of the woods heading back from Austin last night
