I almost got a similar truck this summer, but instead ended up in a 06 silverado with extended cab, 8' bed, tow package, 5.3 flex, line-x, locking rear, blah blah blah, for as much as a Scion.
 I've been beating the crap out of it, and have been very impressed. It hasn't missed a beat. I've been extremely impressed with the versatility of the interior. 6 adults hasn't been a problem, and the dogs have plenty of room when we put the rear seat up. The only problem I've had is trying to park at times. A 20'9" length with a 50.4' turning radius can make things a little interesting. I think you'll be very happy. Congrats.

Don't think I didn't try to convince myself that I needed that smoke burner and Allison tranny. I drooled for a long time. However, I didn't really need the towing or 4x4 capability, and for half the price... well, it makes it easier to feed my motorcycle habit. Will you be upgrading any performance bits? I hear Banks can really steam up that powertrain.

Also, one of the virtues of the LBZ engine is that it's pretty fucking strong as is.

That's why I have not messed with my Power Stroke either. That and the $$$ I don't put into the truck, I can spend on what I tow behind it.
