You wouldn't if you knew what it costs Ernie weekly.

Congratulations Ernie! Let me know if you're ever going past Northern CA!

I love my new Pete. I know several other drivers that have a Pete, and like me are having no real issues other than figuring out the best way to drive one of these new automated transmissions. It rides like a cadillac, nice and quiet, handles very well.

I know when I ordered this truck, I was warned about how the Pete gets such bad MPG. Well, I have be getting 8.0 or better since I've had it. So time will tell as to how bad the MPG is.

So far, no real issues other than learning the best way to operate this automated transmission.
