Just bought my 2011 back on 11/13/2013 with 43,000 miles on it. It currently has 248,900 on it today. The only problems that I have encountered have been emissions(8 times), high beam relay failures(every 100k miles) and low beam light bulbs(monthly). Regular maintenance - monthly oil changes, bi-monthly transmission filter and fuel filter changes, tires every 6 months, shocks at 200k, still on original brake pads with at least 50% left on the front ones. Still looking for the best fuel additive, I have been using grey bottle with black cap and have just started trying out the new Howes fuel treatment. Have not noticed any difference. I use a Big Tex 14ET bumper pull trailer daily that usually has 4 - 7k on it, which has probably helped with the longevity of both the truck and trailer. Switching to LT truck tires has been the best change for the trailer. Fuel mileage has been 9 - 11 outside of California and 12 - 14 in California. Worst was 6.6 in Kansas and 18.1 best in California. I have an AirRaid CAC that has not shown any improvements yet, as my truck is totally stock till 11/14 when I complete the dpf/def delete. Added the Snow Performance water/methanol injection with 7gal tank and noticed more hp during hill climbs(not that the LML has issues with going uphill), but no fuel increase during usage. Since fuel is cheaper than the -20 windshield washer fluid I have not seen any advantages.
That's my truck and as for me - retired USAF 2004, ex-Cop and ex-HVAC tech. Happily married - wife works at ASU West Campus and my son works at Safeway Corporate.
