Default Re: What to watch out for, and mileage

^ that and watch your mudflaps. It would be a good idea to load up the bed with a good amount of weight and make sure it's not resting on the rubber stops. If it is, take it in like that and just complain. Don't mention "TSB" or they'll just say "the 09's aren't covered" but in reality they would still have to fix it.

As for mileage, you should see better than the EPA estimates if you're running stock tires. If you switch to larger tires, obviously that would decrease. And it depends on whether you're in an "ethanol added" State. Expect 1-2 mpg drop if they're using 10% ethanol in gas in your area. That's a frequent question of people when winter comes around..."my mpg dropped..."
