I have had my Pear White Titan SE KC 4 x 4 with Big Tow and e-loc and utilitrac system for 1,400 miles now..Born on 5-20-04.....Bought on 10-20-04..mpg's are going up after 1,200 miles......tires are at 40 PSI......Nothing is wrong.....some getting used to the Titan truck after 6 years with my T100-Titan-like the electric gear shift knob and peculiarities. Sure the FM radio is not as good as my T100's.....but that is minor. I'm getting the same mpg's as my T100 did in town....with the bigger Titan V-8 engine and weight etc. I live in the mountains of WNC.....use the 4 wheel low and high range every day to get up and down my steep graveled driveway..I use the gears more than the brakes to do the slowing down always. I plan on a 9% fuel loss due to the altitude I live at 3,200' on the average. I'm already getting above 16 mpg on the highway.......if I go 60 mph on the average.....I log every tank of fuel.....and use the 4% distance correction when figuring the actual mpg's........so far I am pleased with that also. I have only used regular gas.
My back...has seen more miles than any vehicle...period.........and in my T100 after one hour of driving it would hurt...didn't have lumbar control. With the Titan I have never had a back-ache and traveled up to 6 hrs. without pain and haven't even used the lumbar control!!......this has really helped my ability to have a comfortable ride which I thought I would never have again!!! Another pleasant surprise!!!
I plan to keep my Titan like I did my T100-Titan for up to 6 years. I know I will learn all the quirks good and not so good, and deal with modifying them or put-up with them....that's how vehicles are. With all the gadgets on a Titan.....your gonna have some things to take care of......like any other vehicle. But for me it is just getting better and better..and I also like to tweak, polish and enjoy.......My Titan!!![/color]
