Really sharp looking truck.

How do you like the wheels now that you've had them a few days?

I actually really like them. They're different, but they really look good.

Glad to hear you like them. I figured that might be the case once you saw them in person.

I'm really surprised the V6 has such good reviews. Our traverse has similar specs and feels like just barely enough for our AR190. I would've expected the SX230 to have been more than the V6 could comfortably handle. I have a neighbor that pulls an 18ft Chaparral with a V6 Durango also loves it thugh, so I shouldn't have been too surprised!

I think the transmission is what makes it work so well. With all those gears to choose from. It's pretty easy for it to stay in the power band. In 6th gear (which is 1:1) at 58 mph, it was only turning about 1600 to 1800 rpm's.

The 8sp is a beast of a transmission, I was really worried about buying my truck because it has 3:21 gears but the 8sp makes the truck feel like it has 4:10 gears in it, plus I have the 5.7 Hemi .
Drive that 8sp for awhile and you won't want a different transmission.
