I hope it is. I did not realize how much slack in the front end and how much noise had crept in until driving the new one.

The new ones are quieter even than my 2005 was, by a great amount.

I had a 2012 rental when my old truck was totaled, and again when my current truck (Patrick's red truck) was rearended. The noise difference alone I loved.

Now that I don't have my Mustang, I would love to go get a newer truck, but buying a house doesn't allow that.

I was not aware it was rearended, or have forgotten. You're sounding like an "older" man, liking the quietness. These things really don't ride like a truck.

Clean looking truck we got for sale down the street.
Them Mercedes Folks don't know anything about a King Ranch . They have the color as Burgundy Red Metallic and it should be Chestnut Brown Metallic.

Now if i could find a wrecked 3.5 Eb and put it in that 03 KR

I would think you could find plenty of EB's that have been rearended, since they are so slow.
