How is the 8 speed transmission? Did you get the fluid replaced with the new Mobil they recommend? How are the seats? Did they break in nicely? Only two things I am concerned about with the 2019. About to pull the trigger on one.

 

Thanks! 

Transmission is fine and shifts smoothly.  Everyone once in a while if I start up and try to leave too fast, it kicks only once.  I didnt get the fluid changed though yet.  Seats wise they are excellent.  I have driven many trips with this truck some more than 3-4 hours and never felt the seats bothering me.  Very comfortable and the leather is really easy to clean.

I have found that on my TB, I have to let it sit a minute after cold start up to let all the computers stuff "sync" before driving off.  If I quickly start it and drive, that's when it gripes at me with a hard first shift.  These trucks are a lot like an airplane.  There's a checklist of buttons to push before take off!

Haha, very true.  I usually dont just take off immediately but there are occasions when I do.

I pretend the truck is like AirWolf, and make sure all systems are go before take off.
