      rated for 11,300lbs really isn't anything to laugh at.
      I'd be curious how it handles that much weight.

        I suggest bypass hose removal mod. Our MKS is virtually invisible bone stock; turns heads everywhere when they hear the psssshhhhhht

            Still aint a lot but its plenty for a decent sized camper.

            Id be interested as well to see how the trani holds pulling that much weight also.

                    In that 800k you will have done 5 transmissions.

                        That one won't tow the 11k lbs. It's not optioned for it.

                        The truck looks great though! I'll be curious to hear your gas mileage. I'm looking at picking one up hopefully within the next month.

                          I'm getting an average of 18.5 mixed city & highway.

                          Paul, his truck does have the option (off road with 3.73's) to run 11,300 lbs like mine..

                            is the trani cooler a decent size?

                              How many miles do you have on yours? I am getting about 15 as an average currently but I expect that as the engine breaks in the mileage will improve.

                                It did break in quite a bit, but driving style has a LOT to do with it. It's fun to step on it but to get great mileage (I've seen 26+ on the freeway driving over 10 miles), you must drive carefully!

                                I don't know about the size of the trans cooler, but I've got the offroad package too and it's got skid plates and all so I'm guessing they did a decent tranny cooler but I've honestly never looked.
