New truck pulled the Chris Cat to Millers Marina like a champ.

Best gas mpg yet is 21.8

As a bonus this truck came with Michelin AT2 18 in tires. They are quiet!

Yes 4x4 here in Mich!!!!!! Never get a truck w/o it.

Sunroof- NO - it was the least used option on my avalanche.
Steps and a bed step, and G4 fold a cover tonneau- really nice!!!!

My next things are gonna be linex and tint front windows. Thinking about doing the sliding bed cover that rolls up in the front of bed like a little rolling steel door.

Well- 2000 miles on the Duramax and it is sweet. getting 16 mpg around town and 20-21 hwy. Towed the Chris Cat easily- I had to remind myself it was back there.

Regen about 2 times as far as I can tell. Still says have plenty of DEF - I have bought 2 containers 2.5 gal eahc still have some left over to keep as emergency.

I honestly can't imagine lifting one of these trucks. Hell getiing my old bones out this thing is tough, i fell out the first few times getting used to it. Its taller than the old 2500 Av by about 4-5 inches at the cab. Thgere is no way my 84 yr old mom can get in theis thing....

Be careful of hoarding too much DEF fluid….it has a shelf life and if the quality deteriorates you'll get a warning light "poor DEF quality" or some such..

Def supposedly has at least 1 year shelf life. Mine is at 2800 and haven't had to fill it. Truck is fantastic though I haven't towed yet!!
