I'd like to swap out my current mirrors for the newer style ones, but that will require me to replace the entire door (I'm ok with this. will give me a chance to find some cleaner ones). The downside to this is that with the flatbed I plan to build, or service body I install (I might have found one at a very reasonable price) and the trailers I'm likely to start towing, I'll need more mirror than those. I was looking at some of the semi style mirrors. I notice newer ones have a curved back to them now, rather than being flat, giving them a little aero over the old ones. How much, I'm uncertain, but I'll definitely document any changes from baseline when I get them.
As for driving habits, I've already slowed waaaaay down from how I used to drive the Ranger (god that little guy was fun). The majority of my driving around here would be described as rural or highway. I live in a rather small town (google Elkhorn, Wi), and most shopping and customers are a drive away. I spend most of my driving time doing either 25-30 or 45-60, depending on in town or out in the county. On the highway I'm not sure I'm really comfortable with this truck much over 65 anyway, so 65 is likely to be my main highway speed.
