Congratulations!  I like it. 
 
Although moving up to my full size truck, from my smaller GMC Canyon, hurt like @#$%% paying for it, the towing experience is much more relaxing now.  I hope you enjoy your's as much as I do mine.

Yes is slightly nose down. I am hoping loading the truck would lower it some. Ball mount has a 2 in. drop, may need another with more drop. Thanks.

Traded in the Mitsubishi Endeavor. While it towed well, this will give us more power  and more towing capacity. So long "Gray Ghost", hello "The Beast". Added a P2 brake controller and we are now ready to go to Kerrville next week!!
