Too much stuff to go wrong in the long run. I've had a few electronic issues with both trucks, don't need any extra accessories to have to fix Ya i use to say that. Lane keeping and adaptive cruise basically make them self driving now. Power running boards are nice as well and you dont get the build up of ice in the winter. Seats are also better when you go up to an ultimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the seats and maybe powersteps I don't think I'd want the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya i thought that way too. Another thing i like is i dont have to adjust my headlights anymore, they adjust with the load in the bed. Theres also a built in scale for payload. I got extended warranty. I might keep this one for awhile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing with true winters is putting them on around Thanksgiving and taking them off around Easter. Due to the softer compound heat will destroy them. So, the question is do you want winter and all season tires or just the best 'all season' tire you can purchase? post your specific size and what type you'd want and I'll pm you later. I have some other work to do this afternoon... quality time with the leaf blower. Just put a mulching plate on your mower and chop 'em up.

I've been blowing into the woods here since we built in 2006 and have a good track record. it's the Red Oak leaves that hang on the tree until January that suck to clean up in Spring.

There's a few other tires worth considering as well but I have shit to do... then F1 qualifying is on. I will look into those along with the other ones that were suggested.
