CLOTH!!!! (So happy as having leather in the south is a no no)

The only option it doesnt have that i wanted was a sunroof but looking back on some sunroofs I have had I am actually glad. On the drive home the computer said 23.3-23.8MPG on the highway home. Im sure thats a hair inflated, but still even with now having been equal around town Im still at 17-18.5MPG.

The ride is amazing and its actually nice to have a quite vehicle for the first time ever! The 310HP version of the 3v has me quite impressed, and despite not choosing the EL version we were looking at the regular has tons of room compared to my old grand cherokee. Due to the truck having awesome performance and coming standard with an aux port and the best cooling systems I really dont see a reason to upgrade anything but the tires. Even those are new so itll be a tough sale so maybe Ill wait.

Now its on to the maintenance overhaul (all fluids filters and spark plugs) to satisfy my crazy-ness with maintenance.

welcome to the site...check into a programmer...exhaust...anti-sway bars...intake...

 

[andrew_s]

LoL Definitely interested in the intake, not sure I want to do exhaust as to be honest Im liking the quiet. But only time will tell. Id love to do an airaid jr kit like I have on the jeep as it uses the factory cold air and removes resonators and restrictions from the airbox to the throttle body.

I live far enough in the South and don't have any problems with leather seats....especially with the cooled seats....oh yeah!

I couldnt afford a cooled seat expedition unless I wanted 120k or more miles. My previous/now a fun tinker rig is a 2002 grand cherokee with leather and NC/VA/MD heat make leather a PITA. Cloth was a God send for me.

I have leather and wish I had cloth. These seats look terrible with only 75,000 miles on the car and they don't even look like leather. Not to mention the side bolster on the driver's side is all mangled and squished.

 

[andrew_s]

Mine with 70k is semi squished but the seats are still very comfortable. When we rarely go bellow 90f and 80% + humidity cloth is a God send!

Good luck with your new ride. Is Duck Dynasty your favorite show?

 

[andrew_s]

LoL I get that alot. I do watch the show but it is FAR from my favorite. In fact my beard is how I found out about the show and started watching in season 3.
