I feel your pain. Personally, I have learned to play with tailgaters. I mean, it's that much bigger than most anything out there. The big concern is retrieving the ball from the hitch from their radiator when they hit me.

Usually they can be sent the message to back off by being crop dusted.

I love my truck.

Are you being a left lane dick because you are already going over the speed limit and you own the road or is this a single lane rural thing?

Single lane rural thing. It usually happens when I get trapped behind a herd of Harley's.

Yeah that's different, I don't tailgate when the person in front of me has no options. That's just dumb and asking for an accident.

Exactly.

It usually makes me coast. I mean, in the truck, if they are tailgating me it usually means that all I can see is the top of their car. I can barely see their windshield let alone the front of their car. If you get that close to me, you're asking for trouble.

I usually don't have the time to deal with an accident. So I'm not going to do something volatile like check on the brakes.

I just have an SCT set to street....no on the go select, so I don't have the whole rollin' coal effect. Just a puff between gears

I DO have the benefit of 100 extra hp though

but when you've got a handshaker it makes getting up to speed a little more difficult
