16 miles.

That's what the odometer read when I got in the Shiny New Truck today and started her up for the first time. Checking the paperwork, this thing was built on May 19th.. of this year! My work truck has new car smell.

All the gates work, the latches are smooth, and they don't even rattle much. My seat adjusts six ways from Sunday, and is very comfortable.

Speaking of the gates, they are the lower model and I had no problems lifting and resetting them. The bed is low enough for me to climb over the gates when I just need one box or something. All in all, a good thing.

Now I'm happy that it is the weekend. Despite the gates being lighter, I'm still really feeling it in my shoulders.

Can you still just use the straps or do you have to use the gates?

Congrats on the new truck. I can't even remember what a "new car smell" is like.
