Thats my fav color combo, simply bad ass and I would of gone with that color combo but only if I had a personal car washer on staff.

How anyone can say the 2010+ are ugly is beyond me.

The 3.73 makes a difference for sure. There is certainly less weight on the fronts and less heft overall. My 07 was not stock long so I cant really give a fair comparison of power.

The electric steering is good enough that you seriously do not think about it until you read a review that mentions it. Rides better. Turns a lot harder. The tires are grippier.

Short shifter is nice compared to the 07's long action. Mine won't do WOT 1-2 upshifts though.:dw: The clutch is seriously 10x better than the freightliner clutch in the 07.

Everything but the exhaust makes less noise.

The new seats, wheel, and electronics are absolutely fantastic. I love the nav and the various tricks it can pull.

Heres the best part...I am averaging 16.5 MPG. I got over 17 on my first tank. My 07 was 12 maybe. i thought a gas troll lived in my garage and siphoned it out every night. I could probably average 19 or more with a light foot.

Various other things.

make no mistakes about the fact that the 07 with the mods was a beast. I had a serious amount of camber on the fronts. It was actually neutral handling after the suspension was done. The 07 slid and spun A LOT MORE. Not a little more, not somewhat more, A BUNCH. That car made me smile like bluegrass and boobies. Thats why dad wont let me drive it and why he wouldn't let me sell it to anyone else.
