Thanks, I've really enjoyed it so far. The 6 liter diesel is awesome. Very smooth and strong. I've been pleased with the mileage also, so far I'm getting 18 and 14 when I'm towing. Not too bad for a truck this size. I do have a question though. I bought a bunch of seat conditioner and thought I would wipe them down monthly. Is that bad or is it better to wait the full 3 months. I figured that a monthly conditioning would be pretty good. Doesn't take that long to do and if it would help the seats, then it would be worth it. Thanks again. GS
In my opinion, the best plan is to do it only when it's needed. Even if that's every third day or every twentith month. Only you will know when it's time to condition.
Keep in mind that the general consensus is that you *CAN* over condition. In this case, you're saturating the leather beyond what it can handle and ultimately creating a bad environment for it (think about you holding your hand under water for two weeks straight... your skin would be so saturated that it would nearly be able to be torn off with a fingernail). Further, you'll deteroate the stitching in short order.
On the flip side, not conditioning your leather and allowing it to get very dry and cracked is, obviously, a bad thing as well. Over a few months, you'll get the hang of it and be able to determine when the leather needs to be fed and when it's doing okay.
I hate to answer your question with a very vauge answer but, only you'll know when you should do it.

Thats sort of what I was figuring. I guess I'll be able to go by feel and appearance. I keep as much sun off as possible. Heavy front windshield visor and I'm having the front windows tinted also. Should help out some. But I can see where you will be able to tell when the leather needs it. Wasn't sure if you could overdo it but it makes sense. That's why I figured I'd ask. Thanks again. GS

Love the truck, I was just at my dealer and am looking at a 350 white KR with all options! I can't go with out the sunroof as I have it in my truck now and know I will miss it. I love the color combo, classy!!!!
Thanks guys. I have really enjoyed it so far. I looked at the other two color options for this one but liked the white the most. I always seem to end up with White trucks though so it wasn't a real surprise to anyone. To me, the most impressive part is the diesel, I love it. Quieter than the older ones and very strong. At first, my rear window was slow, but it must have been the seals or something like some of you mentioned but it has gotten much better now.
Shnrbk..Saw your pics not long ago, how do you like it so far? What kind of mileage are you getting with the V10. So far I"m getting about 18 highway and 14 towing. Good luck with it. Thanks again. GS
