Thanks for posting that.
They seem to be one of the only mainstream publications that do long-term test.

I found thier long term test to fall more on the absurd side. I stopped following along when they had an entire article dedicated to how much trouble one guy had parking it. Thats not really a criticism of the truck, more a deficiency in operator...

Agree 100%, I stopped reading it when one guy complained that the 5'7" bed was too short for his motorcycle.

I have gone back from time to time, it seems to be a little more balanced now and they have put a lot of miles on it. Their long term goal is 20K but I think the ecodiesel is over 30K now.
