Then, have fun with the new truck!! As far as the HD truck and handling....I said the same thing! Funny, after a few years it seems to "handle" pretty good; parking/tight spots - not so much
I am not able to look at the door sticker at the moment but I did look at it before. The only thing I remember off the top of my head is the payload is 800lbs higher than the 2.7 was. The new one is 7050k payload package and the old one was 6250. I want to say it was 1804 on the sticker.

I am using an E2 WDH. The new truck has sway control so not sure I will need to go to an E4 yet. My understanding is I would need to disable the factory sway control if I do move up to something like an E4.
