I haven't got the chance to pull yet with my '17 but compared to my '15 you can defiantly feel the extra power. Just have to see how the consumption is for DEF. On a side note if anyone is looking at new '17s check the paint over carefully. I have a nice run in the paint on the roof next to the middle roof light.


I have the same run in my paint. It's just off center towards the driver's side behind the middle roof light cluster. It almost looks like they painted over a flake of metal or a something.

Short of an order, finding something like a 3500 dmax longbox SRW local is a challenge in most of the country. Laura is one of the few dealers that always have multiple to choose from, FWIW. Easy to find the 2500 6.5 boxes anywhere.

1-tons are harder to come by for whatever reason. BTW, it should be easier for your local dealer to be competitive on a 1-ton. Dealers pay "regional advertising" on 3/4 ton and smaller vehicles. Advertising doesn't come out of a 1 ton. Laura GMC is fortunate, because they are in an area that does not have regional advertising. So that saves them easily $1800+ on every truck that normally goes into a GMC advertising fund.

Is getting $10k off sticker on a high country or Denali pretty reasonable to expect this time of year??

I'm about $9k off. I would just think with 18's coming out they'd be getting towards 10 plus

Think the 18's will need to be released, unless the stock is deep and the pipe is gonna be pushed full. We'll find out.
