Real Nice Truck. I Love Black trucks, but I just don't have the patience or time to keep em clean!! That why I stick with White!
It's fun getting to chat with other makes. Interesting to see why people choose one over the other. I prefer Fords because I like my TRUCK to be a TRUCK. I will say GM has much nicer Interior in the earlier models, seems that Ford and Dodge are starting to catch up in that area. I prefer the Fords Ride Height, solid axle front end, and their big fatty weight. But there is not doubting the Duramax's potential!! I drove an 08 2500 Sierra a week or so ago, and it felt like to much like a car for me. But that just my preference.

My next one will probably be white.. They are all a pain to clean though. I grew up riding in GM's so I am just used to them and like how they act. Its hard for me to drive another brand, the sfa just doesnt drive the same thats for sure. Definitely is a lot more stout stock for stock though.

I love the white also, but with my wheel spacers, it throws everything back on the paint right after you wash it. :/ lol

I get the same thing with my tires, they stick out just enough! Planning some bushwhacker flares to help that...I hope! It real bad in wet snow, throws clumps of slush up to the windshield.

I like the streetability of the IFS, but GM should beef it up a bit. The earlier Fords (dont know about the newer ones) ride like lumberwagons. But then again it is a truck.
I just prefer the smoother ride, it's great on roadtrips. My truck is more compfortable than my car on long trips.

The gm's do ride nice, pre 99 fords are lumberwagons for sure! 99-04 are better but certainly no gm. 05 and up with coil springs on the front actually ride real nice. Of course crew cab longbed helps smooth the ride too. But even at that the gm's still are tops I will give ya that!
