It's perfect! Drives like a high end car - and is every bit as quiet. The all air ride suspension was a good choice - made even more apparent when running "bob tail". So far only one thing super annoying is that they didn't key match all the storage doors - so with that many doors - on two sides of the truck - you can imagine what it takes to find the key that will lock/unlock one! WTF! It takes 5 minutes of sorting thru keys. I will fix that once I'm home.

The big DD13 has NO SMELL even at idle. 12.8 ltrs of diesel and it's quiet and doesn't stink or smoke that is pretty impressive. I have three choices on the transmission - D - N - R. Push one... and off you go. Nothing else to do. It's so easy even I can do it.

I'm able to drive it with ease - in city traffic or on the freeway... you just drive it like it's a car. After the first 10 miles you get over the intimidating size... and it is BIG.
Enjoyed the 'first drive' report.

Next are the vids, right?
