Re: New '09 in the driveway
Yes, it came that way. Odd, since it isn't even an option on other models, I guess that does make it a bit special.
I'm not sure if it is one of the options from the aftermarket guys. Does look more like the bushwackers, but the webpage says those are paintable matte black, these are textured more like the bumpers.
I do like the EG models with the splash guards, had OEM splash guards on both of my previous trucks. They really help keep the sides clean. Haven't had this one out in mud or rain, so I don't know if the flares help out.

Thanks Jim!
680 miles and still grinning. I've had to fill it up twice so far, 14mpg first tank and 15mpg second. I was getting 17mpg with the I5, so I'm not too disappointed with this. Probably get better when it loosens up some (and synthetic oil put in).
Sold the carpet floor mats on ebay, just ordered the Vinyl ones.
Now if I could just find time to do all the stuff I want to do:
1) Put navigation system in that came out of previous.
2) Buy and install black nerf bars.
3) Paint bars on wheel center caps black (like original 2006 had).
4) Explain to my wife why all this is necessary.

Re: New '09 in the driveway
Looks great, thinking of painting my calipers... i'll wait till the pads are worn to get new ones. Is that a limited edition?

Paint them now
I just did front pads at 58,000 miles(still had some left 1/4 + or -)
About 8,000 miles towing 4000 lbs w trailer brake
Rars are still good not even 1/2 worn.
The front pads slide in like toast in a toaster no need to remove caliper.
Quickest brake job I have ever done.

It is a "special" edition, I don't know how limited. If production numbers are published anywhere I haven't found them. Calipers and shocks painted bright red.
Got the navigation system and backup camera put in this weekend, very time consuming since I'm a bit meticulous (some might say anal). Put on the roof rack crossbars I took off the previous truck (silver, although on this one I'd prefer black).
About to pull the trigger on factory nerf bars. No one else seems to make them in a gray or flat black finish (like the brush guard). I think the gloss black will stand out just a bit much.
Also got the bars on the wheel caps painted, I just like the way this looks.

Re: New '09 in the driveway
There were several of the Championship Editions at a dealer in the Houston area. I went to look at them and they are pretty nice.
