Congrats on the new truck Canada0937. I knew you'd like it. After hearing all the scary stories on this website, I was very nervous with break-in and first towing experience. I felt like something might break or overheat or something. So far, everything is good.

I know the payload is quite low on these trucks (a little lower on the CC I think). I'm not sure why they went with such light duty tires. I'm accustomed to using E rated (10 ply) tires on my trucks and this was is just a regular P rated tire!?! Not even LT??? ...and it's rated to pull over 9,000 lbs!!! I don't get it. Hopefully by the time I need new tires, they'll have a load rated option for me. Right now, not much is offerred in the 18' size I need. It's something I didn't really think of when I bought the truck either, but I would have still purchased the Nissan. IMO, there isn't much competition in the 1/2 ton market right now. Maybe someday they'll have an HD version.

How's the weather up in Fort Mac? We had a freak snowstorm today but it's back up to plus temps for the rest of the week. It makes things really muddy for those of us who work outside.
