look at all the poors in here making fun of a 60k+ truck. lol poors


Maybe this explains the massive amount down votes im getting.

Not saying I'm getting it; that's a very high price for a truck. I'm gonna look at the 5.3L 2x4. They have a 3.0L v6 diesel. Anyone have any experience with this?

I've been looking at getting one with the straight-six Duramax since they came out. Totally different character from the 6.2L. All smooth low end torque, obviously doesn't rev high because diesel.

The ten-speed is perfect for that engine as well. As far as drivetrain refinement, noise level and shift quality go, you could put that engine and transmission in a brand-new Mercedes and it would be right at home. They're that nice.

I live in Montana, so I drive on the highway and fast 2-lane backroads a lot, so the fuel economy of the diesel is very appealing for me. 25ish highway MPG in a full size truck is pretty awesome.

It's very quiet in general, inside and out, and not just for a diesel. For reference, I currently have a 2014 Audi A6 TDI, which is a 3.0L V6 diesel in a quiet luxury car, and the 3.0L Duramax is much quieter at idle from outside.

You talk of towing a fifth wheeler in the future.The money you're talking about spending shouldn't be spent on a half ton truck.(No offense to half-ton owners).
