Anyone have the inside scoop on the 2017 Duramax?

Less than 3 months out; thanks for that info.
Toyota too since they are built there? Maybe a DRW hauling hoss?
The 2017 Ford mules have been seen and marketed for a while. They are growing on me a bit as of late. It may be the Lincoln-like accouterments.
I'm not sure how may more ways Ford designers can F-up a dually/fender/wheel-well-molding/flare through.

Is the High Country the Chevy level package that lets you get the dark red/burgundy leather interior? I saw it on a truck recently, very briefly and it looked really, sharp. Some folks were not a fan of the red interior in the late 90s' trucks, but I was. A white Chevy with red interior is an instant throwback to the original 1953 Corvette available in only those colors.
I can't stand a black/charcoal interior which is why the Dodge is out automatically. Their high end "Limited" package only comes in black.

I wish I had taken note of what truck it was that I saw the burgundy leather and dash in. I'm 99% sure it was not custom. It was a very late model Chevrolet I think.

I heard from my knowledgeable fellow GM freak friend the other day that 2/3rd week in August orders for HD's will start to be accepted... If so news is around the corner I would think.
He also said a new direct injected V8 in the 420 horse range
Usually the Texas state fair is a launch for all of the big3
I am ordering a 2500 Denali DMax as soon as I can being that I just bought another boat last week.
I am no longer boatless

I think the Texas State Fair is the last week of September. Keep me posted if you get any more information.
Thanks!

I saw that on the new 'Build a Truck' options. I like the Saddle as well; and its better looking and feeling than the King Ranch Ford stuff IMHO. But I need to eyeball a few trucks for specifics. My old Benzo daily driver has a light brown leather seating and wood trim (Designo edition), but still has black dash, mats, door panels, and CARPET. BLACK CARPET in a vehicle is the dumbest thing ever. It shows every little piece of lint, dirt, and other.
I wish I had taken note of what truck it was that I saw the burgundy leather and dash in. I'm 99% sure it was not custom. It was a very late model Chevrolet I think.

I know what you mean about the black. My daily driver is a black on black Escalade EXT and it sure keeps me busy detailing...

I used to be big into bombed diesels about 10 years ago. I have EFI Live and had my 05 Dmax turned up pretty hot. Hot enough to limp the Allison on cue. lol. I now prefer to leave my daily driver/tow rig alone and stock, and under warranty. I must be getting old, because my dad always tried to get that thru my thick skull when I was younger. haha.

Everything I have heard about the 2011+ LML's is that on the fly tuning is not possible. Nobody has been able to crack the ECU to be able to use a DSP-3 switch yet. Just searched all over their website for something on this and cannot find anything.
