Still waiting on mine to make it into the dealership in Kirkland so it can be entered into the inventory, and processed out to me. It's stuck in Kent thanks to the damn 2-3 inches of snow they got this week. Freakin' Washington. 2-3 inches of snow in AK isn't even worth pulling out our shovels for. Congrats on your new wheels Blue, hope you and the wife enjoy it

I am so impressed that you're wife is driving a screw with the long bed. You read so many posts from people a little nervous about all that length and how hard it will be to park, etc. and here's a little lady who's gonna drive a real truck! I have an '09 screw 6.5' and my girls love it. Outstanding!

Are you taking it to the exhaust shop BEFORE seeing how it sounds stock?

Congrat's on the new truck! The 5.0 has a nice sound stock and ought to sound great with a custom exhaust.

waiting on a different muffler since the exhaust shops here in hawaii wont run duals on my truck. the dealer told me it will void my warranty if i modify the factory y pipe, so i am ordering a single inlet/ dual outlet magnaflow muffler. I am still working on getting pictures. My wife loves having her SuperCrew 6.5 ft bed. The truck is replacing her 1999 standard cab ranger.
