Just pulled a 44 MTI 2500 miles and it pulled great. Fuel mileage was an issue. With 4:88 gears I only got 6.4 mpg loaded and 9 empty. It may get a little better over time, but either way it needs more than a 38 gallon tank. For right now the ultra-low sulpher diesel can be a pain to find. I am sure in a few months everyone will have it.
The truck rides great(considering), the dash is layed out nice, the seats are comfortable, and a tight turning radius. The factory gps doesn't have much detail, but still works fine.

Another thing I noticed. The factory brake control is not good for electric over hydraulic brakes
It will work if you manually move the control, but not with the brake pedal.
I though something was odd, then looked in the manual, and it confirmed it.
