Nice truck - but you guys are high! The 2015 Powerstroke is where it's at; Interior, power and drivetrain are at the top of the class!

(Yes, I've been stalking you online. I'm stalking several members with Sportsters and Concept 27's, LOL).
I will be towing my 30' Chris Cat- its 11,000 lbs incl trailer (scaled it) - thats why I need the Duramax here in Mich.

The Scarab is in FL and i used a 2002 Trailblazer (with 177k miles !!!) to tow that.

Two boats - NO BRAINS-

20 mpg in an unloaded 2500 is NICE.

Congrats on the new truck, and im glad to hear all the positive feedback about it.

The Ford is nice, I just think the Duramax Allison pair are the best on the market IMHO. Ford and GM interiors now are more alike than ever on these trucks....

Those HP/TQ numbers don't mean anything if you can't put the power to the ground as evidenced in this 2011 test...
