I agree. White bumpers taking a hit from rocks

My 05 dmax with 240k miles had WAY less rock chips than this truck with 24k on it. The paint quality/durability is awful.

My issue is only on the front bumper, I would be really mad if it was anywhere else. I can kind of under stand getting trapped behind a salt truck for 5 miles. But still I would think it would hold up better.

Maybe it's just us that live in WI having a problem and we should all move south. I have white too, looks horrible with the chips in the front bumper.

I sold my 08 and bought a 2016 Black LTZ Duramax myself in March. Love the truck.

Anybody weigh GMC and Chevrolet thoroughly before purchase?
I am casually looking/deciding if I want to get something new.

To me, the interior on the LTZ & High Country is pretty much identical to the GMC Denali.
The only thing I like better on the GMC is the front end shape and distinction.

Their websites are so cryptic and with terrible pictures, it hard to tell.
Are there any other differences I'm missing? I know all specs and ratings are the same.

I picked Chevy over the GMC because I like the front ends better and personally I think the plastic trim around the wheel wells on GMC trucks look terrible unless its a black truck.
Other than that I don't see any differences really

My father in law just bought a 2016 LTZ chevy....the interior is nowhere near as nice as my Denali. The "leather" isn't as nice, for one. Also, the Denali has the full LCD gauge cluster which is configurable (other than tach and speedo) where the chevys do not.

Ah, very good info. Thank you.

you guys with the little ones making a mess of your back seat---just wait, it doesn't get any better!! My 2 are now 8 & 12 and instead of milk/juice I have mud, dirt, grass, etc. from their softball cleats and pants all over my back seats & floor!! And my 12 yr. old daughter's cleats will literally blow over a cow they smell so bad!! I have to keep Fabreeze in my '08 Duramax!!

But nice trucks you guys have! I now have 108K on my '08 and I love it! Pulls like a train and never skips a beat. I just wish I could afford the new ones cause they sure are purty!!
