Yeah, same with my old truck. Fiberglass fenders on that stepside made it extra light. It would spin up the 33x12.5s on oily streets or light rain despite everything it had going against it. This V6 has no problem spinning the tires on flat, dry pavement.

Wish mine had the paint matched front bumper, but the flat black is fine cause it doesnt really show chips.

Interesting site my brother linked me to:
http://www.fuelly.com/

Tracks mileage and fuel efficiency. Calculates annual fuel use reports and lets you keep maintenance notes. Even lets you update from your cell phone via text. None of it is private, so it's a good way to get a feel for averages on most popular vehicles. And yes, they have a motorcycle side.
