Ken,
With the engine and transmission combo I don't think you're going to miss the lower gear ratio too much. Give the auto level a min or two (at least mine does) to adjust before you think it's not working. Especially when it returns to non loaded ride height. You sure can get used to all the comforts of the Laramie trim level quickly. I thought I would never need half the stuff but really miss them when I drive my 1977 F250

Copy that. My last truck (2002 F350) had electric windows. I put in a bluetooth stereo to listen to Pandora from the phone. Originally Posted by kevinpo

I'm back from the Oregon Coast. With the hitch at the top adjustment the truck and Momentum all leveled out very nicely. Originally Posted by orbiker
