Yeah lowering even just the rear about 1" to level it would make it look pretty great.
I thought the rake was going to be bad in person, it's not as bad as it looked in photos.
:aintcare:

I was looking at a leveling kit, to raise the front, but nah, it drives well, and it doesn't need anything.

Sweet. The shoulder line of these trucks rises as it goes to the back, so maybe that's why they look like they have so much rake in pictures. :iono:
How's the 8 speed?

Smooth on the upshifts, a little clunky on the downshifts, but that's everything I read about.
The pedal has a dead spot, again, I read about that.

There's a tune that fixes it apparently, but #warranty.
:aintcare: motoring at it's finest.

Dead spot at the top of the pedal? Like a GTI I guess? That might not be a terrible thing for off-roading though.

My buddies ecoDiesel 1500 is a very interesting :truk: supremely comfortable and incredibly fuel efficient, but it seriously lags behind in cabin space in particular head room. The Fraud and GM offering are perfect for linebackers however somehow the :doge: is pretty small, less headroom than a golf. Which is odd considering the size of the thing.

New one is actually :notbad:

I've been in a previous gen, a co-worker just got one, 2017, it's nice.
I didn't notice the room issues Max is talking about, mainly because I really disliked my co-worker and was just waiting for him to shut the fuck up.

His is the loaded Laramie, which includes a sunroof, which really cuts down on the space IMO.
