Raised roof ribs versus indents -- it's kind of amazing that little things like that don't get weeded out during the design process. Simple, but it makes a huge difference in how they perform over the course of the truck's life.

Gotta' head out for my run -- been avoiding it like the plague the morning......

So my big 5.0L is more efficient at 60 than your truck is

I look forward to the day when I'm a "graybeard" like you and Bluejay and I have the luxury of being able to go for a brisk walk instead of doing the run! I'm still at the point in my life where everything has to be rush-rush -- no time for a 3-mile walk when I can run it in half the time......

Glad you survived the run! I usually take a mile walk in the morning and another in the evening if the weather isn't too bad. No stress anymore since I retired close to 3 yrs ago. Just doing some of the housework and the yardwork keeps me busy during the week and bringing my oldest grandson to football practice daily gets me out of the house. MawMaw still work's 4 days a week and is about ready to cut it down to 3 so we'll have some long weekend's to take some short trips.

On this 2014, on the pillars there are round speaker grills about the size if a silver dollar. Have a metal grill. Any idea what they are? Maybe the alarm?

They are tweeter's.. The 5.0 i drove when i was looking for a new truck didnt have them, When i test drove my Eb it had the tweeters, elocker, and the nice display between the speedometer and the rpm gauge. Its Probably part of the 301a package
