Coming very soon. I was a beta tester with the Ford 6.7, it works really good.

Thats for the Fords only. the new Duramax Switchable tuning is strictly from BT DieselWorks nobody else has been able to figure it out.

Mine is staying all stock for while. Not sure if I'm throwing a plow on it yet so ill wait till the dsp switch is available. Plowing with big/aggressive power just lights up the tires anyway...

I love the High Country interiors. I looked at a black High Country with the saddle interior which was the same color scheme as my old 93 2500. ALMOST went for it but I ordered a truck instead.

OH and yes the high country interior only comes in "saddle".

Did some more digging on the Ram, and as long as you don't chose "Limited" you have some other interior color options besides black.

I had a 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 for a beater for a couple years, and it was the worst riding truck I've ever owned, INCLUDING my lowriders.

I don't need a new truck, but again, I have the itch. The 2017 Ford is visually growing on me; will have to wait and see how they look in person.

That is not true. Ford is still at 100,000 on powerstokes. I switched over our company fleet years ago to all Chevy, mainly due to the better warranty.

In case anybody is looking at new chevys they are giving back 12% of msrp right now. My local dealer has a fully loaded high country for $52k that I'm hopefully going to snag this week.

Seen the discounts. I'm guessing body style change for 17.

I know the motor is getting some upgrades and some slight body changes.
