Congrats on the new truck!! It's nice to see a fully loaded new truck, that has a gas engine. Seems like for a while, all the gas engines got stuck with the strip down trucks. Enjoy!!

Nice truck but I would have still gone with older models! That is just me the older the good, they don't make them like they use to anymore is all.

Enjoy yours

I have to agree, it's always nice to see a fully loaded new truck come with the 6.2 gas motor.

Nothing wrong with the 6.7 diesel, both have there place, use and need. Downside is that you don't have the TQ and HP that come with the diesel. Good news is that you don't have the diesel maintenance and fuel/emissions headaches and related cost to cause you concern.

As for HP/TQ, I'm sure you have more than what you will need, it is a gas powered beast. And a beautiful one at that.

Hi camaro609,

Congrats on ordering. Reach out to me via PM with your order number and dealership name/location; I'll provide you with weekly updates on your truck's status. I'm confident that the wait will be worth it.

You are right. They don't make trucks like they use to.They make the trucks way better now! Safer and less problems!
