I fear replacing it. I want it forever.

Meets or exceeds all my expectations. I can drive out with my family of 5, all teenagers, or I can use it around the farm. My dogs love the midgate, as do I when I need full sheets, 2x4's and other materials. I have hauled 16' 2x4's without needing to worry about how far behind me it hands. Towing feels like driving normal, and i often forget i have a trailer. Living in the northeast, I drive in the snow a lot. With the stock tires, I drove the speed limit with no issue, unless there was ice. With the beefy goodyear wrangler duratrac tires, I drive through mud that scrapes the belly and never get stuck. Speaking of, the ground clearance is surprisingly good. I have a fully loaded LTZ, and the auto leveling (I forgot the name of the option) is very helpful out in the woods. The only downside is that the traction control can not be fully disengaged unless you are in 4x4 low. I turned off the traction control when I need wheel spin (if you live in snow, you understand end of driveways), yet it still stopped my tires from spinning when I was halfway in the road, and I had to back into my driveway on a few occasions. Oh, and the flex is amazing. Average of 22+mph on the highway with cruise control, 16 in the mountains, 18 city.
