Since you are thinking for later on and picking up a '17, it may or may not make a difference to know that the '17's got an updated V6 with an 8-speed auto that should help your in-town MPG's, while still being plenty to tow your boat.

Get a 1500 double cab with the DI 5.3. More truck for the money, especially with the big incentives on '16s now. All double cabs are made here, in Fort Wayne (really Roanoke), Indiana. Our plant is running lots of overtime, just to keep up with demand. 1500 trucks a day! We will run 3 Saturday production days before the end of the year, as well.

How are you guys pulling those numbers?!?!? Here in Wentzville we do 1050-1100 trucks/vans a day and work every saturday....

Wow, we just had a line speed increase to 54 jph and thought that was moving. Guess it helps to have a newer plant, we're getting a new body shop extension for when we start kicking out the cutaway vans. Those are contracted out now to free up line space for passenger vans and Colorado/Canyons. Scheduled at 367 units/shift
