I get 2000 rpms at 80 on the highway....the fuel mileage is about 16-17mpg. Maybe you guys should move up one or three tire sizes up from stock.

Diesel_Day_Dreamin 06-05-2005, 08:57 PM Glad I got mine then (in carbon metallic)! Black is sweet, but a pain to keep clean. ajarthur 06-06-2005, 12:06 AM ande6009 -Sweet rig! very nice lift. Are the Toyo's wearing well? I'm glad I got carbon metallic as well... the wife talked me into it and now the color is really growing on me! It doesn't hide the dirt like my bright red truck did, but it's not too bad. Looks so awesome in the sun (when its clean of course)! Glad I got mine then (in carbon metallic)! Black is sweet, but a pain to keep clean. D/A Power 06-06-2005, 11:46 AM I was against the carbon metallic at first since it is soooo close to black, but now I really like it. Especially because the wheel flares are smooth and painted versus the unpainted and textured with black ;) . But I almost wonder if they are deleting it due to it's crappy durability. My blue and pewter trucks never scrached this easily! I know many complain about the ease of these trucks chipping, but the is the first time I've had any issues. Do you guys with the carbon notice if it is worse? nassdmax 06-06-2005, 06:23 PM You should try white... That is one brittle paint! TxChristopher 06-06-2005, 07:57 PM Yeah mine seems to chip easily. Touch up paint is in the glovebox, its been used a half dozen times at least. I wonder if it is all the colors that chip so easy....maybe it is their paint process. The carbon metallic makes the truck look "richer" if you know what I mean, and looks black in the right light/conditions sometimes. My Accord Hybrid is "Carbon Graphite Pearl" which is nearly identical in color, and it has the same effect on that car. I love that color! ande6009 06-14-2005, 03:04 PM Haven't had any chipping problems yet, but it has been in the shop more than it ha been driven getting things powdercoated and so forth. The tires only have about 1K miles on them, so it is too early to tell aboput wear. But the rear tires are going down fast from the standing burnouts!!!!!:ro) Wolford 06-14-2005, 10:56 PM Badass DURAtotheMAX 06-14-2005, 11:13 PM yup, black stays clean for all of about 3 minutes after you leave the carwash...then the hood turns yellow/green again from all the pollen!!! grrr BTW...X8 on the awesome truck!!!! ---Ben | ||
