Are you saying they put a completely new body on the old frame,I haven't looked that close. I guess what I notice the most is the ultra plush 12 way seats don't have pronounced side bolsters digging into each side of my back like my 06 lt3 did. They lay way back,my last ones didn't and I couldn't get comfortable when trying to relax when riding as a passenger on trips. I'm sure the 17" 265's have more side wall and give less feedback from the road then the stock tires on the last one did.
I bought Bushwacker extend a fender flares and put them on but took them off because they look too big for the stock tires plus they wacked 1/2 mpg off gas mileage in back to back testing. Not sure what I'm going to do,the next size smaller are only 3/4" wide,the ones I got were 1 3/4 wide,without anything road grime sprays down the side of the truck forward of the back tires to the front doors,Smitty

I've done some math, and any way I slice it owing 21K on my '06 with 4700 miles just can't be beat...

plus I still struggle with the asthetics of the NBS HD
