I'd buy another. It fits a nice niche for a DD if you don't mind feeding it. Comfortable, auto, tows, 4 doors, looks good, all of the amenities. In my opinion a tune makes the truck. Not impressive in stock form (14.70's in sub 1000ft DA stock). A little work with HPT, a CAI and electric fans - 13.50's 1500ish DA. Cons - I did break a sprag at 30k miles. Gas mileage is going to be 13-14 in town and 16's highway. Hope that helps.

My TBSS had like 35k miles on it before I put a built trans in it and there was nothing wrong with the stocker.
Gas for me was 13-14city/17highway on stock stall and 12.5city/17highway with a 3600 stall.
Only issues I ever had with mine was both front wheel hubs went out but my truck was lowered alot when that happend. Also had the Climate Control head unit go out, other than that it was a solid car
