I don't have to.

I actually run about a gallon of filtered/used transmission fluid through it every other tank instead of any additive. It cleans it, lubricates it, while being cheap and this motor will burn damn near anything...

It's urea, and it started on the 2011 models for Ford and Chevy/GMC. Dodge will get by through the '12 model year, and then have to revamp emissions to meet the new stricter regs.

It doesn't actually get added to the fuel either. It has it's own seperate tank, and is injected into the exhaust stream after the cat to clean up some of the pollutants.

If they're still getting 20+mpg on 37s, the Titan is going in for trade the day I read it.

Not really. I see those daily... many of them. But then again I'm in Motor City.

She's in Texas... they do everything big out there.

You have a point... Half the people I knew back in Mi had a full sized truck, including me and my GF had a GMC 2500 HD quad cab/long bed with a body and suspension lift.

Yesterday, we went down to the track with the truck and the Miata. My husband hates driving on the street. Like, loathes driving around other vehicles unless he's on a track. Now, he drives the truck... I was laughing at him yesterday. He said it was because now he's higher than the rest of "them"

And, y'all thought I was an elitest prick... LOL.

Shit, with the roof racks on, my Jetta gets that even if I'm babying it. Might be time to change vehicles.

But damn, I don't want all my friends calling me when it's time to move.
