[@greglammers9905]

Nice truck Mike, I was a ford guy for years mostly diesel. I had trouble with every one of them. I bought a new 2018 Chevy 3500 duramax and love it. I pull a 30’ enclosed trailer with my race car inside along with tools,spare parts. Etc. pulls great. I’ve got about 58000 miles on it so far. The thing will pull a house. My buddy has got a 2020 ford with the 6.7 diesel it has 42000 miles on it. The fuel pump went out two weeks ago on a trip pulling a trailer, left him stranded.

[@BC08]

Duramax ran the same fuel pump from 2011-2016. It’s a shame Ford stuck with the CP4 for some unknown reason. The 2020-up 6.7 Powerstroke is hands down the best medium-duty V8 architecture (speaking of the actual long-block) but they really need to ditch the CP4.

[@ronaldferino3414]

I think you'll enjoy pulling a load with the new truck, its a whole different feeling when that turbo spools up and you can feel it pulling instead of shifting like gas engines do. Its sooooo much nicer in my opinion I drive semi for a living and the difference between the trucks today and when I started 40 years ago is really nice. We have auto shift transmissions now wasn't sure I was going to like them because I really enjoy shifting but after driving them in big cities with stop and go rush hour traffic what a pleasure. My son has a duramax and loves it , hope you enjoy yours can't wait to hear your first impression after hauling a heavy load. Good luck

The guy wrong on the tailgate you have to do the button every time if you forget BAM DENTED I tried to get GM to turn off the tailgate from inside the truck can't I pushed the button on accident it opened up stuff fell out I had remote in pocket had stuff back there a lady honking at me stuff on the road at night had to put small pieces of red reflection tape so I can see that the gate is up I came from Ford trucks to I absolutely love it!!!!! Just wish I had to go back there and push the buttons on the gate remote off gate inside switch off !!!!!

[@skyline9779]

If you Ever have second thoughts about the warranty most of them are required by law to be bought back at a prorated amount. I own a shop in Utah. I have never seen one that wasn't a rip off when it came time to make a claim. My advice is to self insure with the premium you paid for the warranty. I'd urge you to read the fine print about what is excluded. I also bought a 2023 GMC Denali 3500 HD because of the same runaround by Ford on a 2023 F450 (job one)I placed an order for in early Novemberish 2022. Still no word on that. They quit corresponding in late January.

[@iramatheny4367]

Congrats on the new truck. As to trailers, I found the Goose-Neck trailers to be significantly superior to bumper-pull. No comparison.

[@woodsman123]

100% agree. You probably know this, but for others who may want to know why, I often articulate the reasons as follows: First, the distance between the rear axle and the ball for a bumper pull is several feet. If you visualize going down the road and slightly turn right, the bumper pull will slightly move left. If you have a gooseneck where the hitch point is on top of the axle, this effect does not occur. I haul horses, and this slight reverse tug is amplified by the shifting weight of livestock and can feel like an unnerving wiggle going down the road at high speed. A family member of mine had this issue and it resulted in amplifying into eventually losing control and a severe accident. Second, as Mike points out, the weight ratings are much much higher for gooseneck. Imagine putting on a 50 lb backpack vs. holding the backpack at arms length. I can carry the weight on my back much easier. Likewise, a gooseneck that has the tongue weight right over the axle is rated higher. I am not a mechanical engineer, but this is how I see it and why I have justified gooseneck for livestock hauling for years. I hope this helps somebody. ;) Congrats on the new truck Mike! My 2013 Duramax dually was the best hauling truck I ever owned!

Mike, I also have a 23 GMC Duramax. I went Denali vs AT4. Pro tip on the tailgate. Press and hold the top tail gate button till the tail lights flash.

[@outragousbob4367]

I’m not brand loyal and have owned both Ford and Chevy trucks. I haven’t had serious issues with any of them but the last Z71 had a lot of little things go wrong. The most frustrating was the Flex Fuel sensor that calculates the AF ratio based on ethanol content. It constantly messed up and the truck wouldn’t run right until the dealer recalibrated the sensor. Have a FX4 Superduty now and it is very nice. Couple recall issues but at 53k nothing serious at all. Good luck and if you plow snow like I do, the solid front axle on the Ford is a better setup.

You made a good decision, you’re going to love the truck. I have a 22 Denali HD 2500,have 11k miles on it, no issues. You need to look up B&W hitches for the multipro tailgate, they make a specific custom receiver that won’t damage the tailgate . Enjoy it in good health !

The 1st year it had 7 sets of brakes and rotors replaced, the radius arms wouldn't stay torqued so after rotation it ate 4 tires. Then it ate the 4 new tires they put on it. Pinion bearings and a clutch too. Pay all that money and they wouldn't even paint the underneath of a 4WD they know is duty-bound. They can keep em.

Beautiful machine, Mike. I'm like you to some extent. I'd rather wrestle an alligator than shop for a new vehicle (which I am doing as we speak). I think aligning with a good dealer is as important as the make of vehicle in many cases. However, the way you take care of your equipment should serve you well. Similarly, my last truck purchase (and it will be literally my last, as I'm 74 years old) was a gasser SuperDuty in 2015 to haul my Kubota when necessary. I use it only when I truly need a truck. Eight years later and it has only 18,000 miles on it, and it still has that new leather smell. Good luck figuring out all that technology!

I have a feeling you'll find ways to make the new Duramax Truck pay for itself pretty quickly. Try putting AMSOIL in it as 100 percent synthetic oil holds up better under extreme conditions. They are famous for their products and have oil for just about every kind of equipment. It seems Melissa really likes the F150 and perhaps more than the Bronco. The grocery getter has been your vehicle of choice for long trips so it must be very comfortable and relatively economical to drive. Installing a cover over the bed and should produce better fuel economy when you don't need to haul a lot of stuff.

That's why he bought the extended warranty. All that extra hardware that really isn't necessary will break and will be EXTREMELY expensive to repair...IF they can even get the parts. (Chinese!)

You’re gonna love the difference hauling . I have a 3500 duramax with the 8’bed , i had a 1500 Z71 hauling logs now i dont even know the trailer is behind when it loaded with 8000lbs of logs . Enjoy the new truck . Happy hauling Mike

[@joezitzler151]

Awesome truck Mike! If you take care of it like your equipment (meticulously) it will look great and run well for years to come!

[@williamcorleu5839]

I love my GMC

[@carrier08]

Congrats Mike. Go ahead and get the 2-1/2” B&W hitch made for that tailgate. Well worth the investment. I have a 2020 Denali like yours and love it. You might consider a gooseneck 16’ dump trailer like I have done so you can haul the excavator or skid steer. Definitely look into the hitch before you drop that top tailgate and get your first dent.

Looks good . Hopefully it treats you as good as the Ford . A good friend of mine transports boats for a living and is a staunch GM/Chevy truck guy . The Chevy left him stuck on the side of the highway many times … blown transmissions , rear ends .. etc …. Good luck with your new truck !

[@Mr_Chris77]

So you're going to use the one ton for work only, but get a model that's all decked out. I would have bought a base or a step up if just being used for work. It's a nice looking truck though. I hope it works out.

[@timhaisch5275]

I have a 2022 2500 Denali same color. I've had 6 1500 gmc Denali gas trucks and the Duramax is very impressive. my 1st diesel...Wow what a motor! The color looks gray/green at times then gray/blue at times. Love it!

[@thelongbranchhomestead1397]

Congrats on the truck Mike! I love those heavy duty trucks now they can pull a lot with ease they ride great and I'm a big fan of sitting up higher than most on the highway. My wife loves driving mine and I feel much she's much safer in it also. We love trucks so much because of their versatility we got rid of our cars and drive two trucks now. It just feels right. Enjoy!!

Congrats on the AT4! You'll love it! I bought mine last year almost in the same fashion: needed a HD truck during a shortage and it just dropped in my lap. Doing the same thing with keeping the miles low on hauler here as well. Might need to follow suit with the extended warranty later. Good Luck!

Great choice Mike. I’m sure you will really enjoy it. I have an 2011 GMC 2500hd. Feels like a beast compared to a regular half ton truck. Keep up the great videos. 👍

[@duncandogster]

Nice truck, Mike. I have a GMC Duramax, and it's been great! The extended warranty didn't cover the DEF system on mine, which was an issue. Also, you'll probably want to upgrade the tires. I went with the BFGoodrich KO2's. They're 10-ply, and you can inflate them to 80PSI for heavy trailering!

[@haroldphipps3457]

I have the K02's on my 1/2 ton GMC. On my second set and really like them. With the aggressive tread pattern, I didn't think they would wear well, but they seem to last a long time.

[@nightraider7579]

You are going to love that GMC Duramax!! I have 2 of the 4x4 one ton flatbeds for my ranch and I don’t treat my trucks with kid gloves, I use the piss out of them hauling constantly and even in the worst weather where it gets up to axles in mud holes pulling my hay trailer. I also pull my tractor out when it gets stuck. I love mine and I’m sure you will love yours too!!

[@reaality3860]

I've always liked a Ford truck. But today (June 2023), I would get a Dodge Cummings turbo-diesel.

[@johnking8679]

NICE, Mike !! I really like the GMC truck !! Nice looking, nice colour and plenty of engine towing and carrying capacity !! Should last you for years to come !! Best wishes and thanks again for sharing !!

[@darrensmall4313]

Congratulations on your truck! You and your family have certainly earned it through all your hard work.

[@cucvfarmer]

Congratulations on the new truck!!! I would use a fuel additive like Hotshot Secret Edt to help the injection pump last and help reduce regeneration. I would install a oil bypass filter kit to help keep the oil cleaner. A good kit would remove 90% soot particles down to 2 or 3 micron size. That will help the engine last alot longer. Myself I'm a fan of the Ford Super Duty because of the solid front end. On independent front suspension you have to compromise on the front end alignment of having the truck empty or having tongue weight. Having airbags in the rear will help with that issue.

[@jamesedmonds1350]

😎😎😎 Get this, I have an 89 Geo Metro 3 cly ,5 speed it now has 356,000 miles on it ,paid $150 for it in 2001 I occasionally pull a trailer with it . Had the trailer filled with scrap metal going to the scrap yard ,crossed the scales, the weight was 3,250 lbs ,the car weights 1,600 LBS . Pulled the load over 20 miles. When I haul furniture and other items ,I love the look I get from people with the big experience trucks. 😄

[@xTheJmanChannel]

I'll definitely be interested to see how the "doora-max" holds up emissions and equipment wise. They make some of the best looking trucks so if they hold up I could see myself changing to GM

[@nicolec7290]

I heard they have trouble at about 30.000 miles. The main seal ( leaking ). GM has made one plastic gasket,seal what ever you want to call it, after you split the transmission from the motor. You have to place , the ring over the crank shaft, then wait 24 hours before you put it back together. That give the seal time to form around the shaft. This is just heard through the grapevine so. Hopefully it’s not true & or they went back to rubber with the spring in it.

[@jkfishnhunt684]

Chevy Ford and ram (let's face it a GMC is a Chevy with different emblems) and they all have emissions problems mine started at 36,000. and at that point, I traded it in for a gas . recently, I asked my nephew Who is a mechanic at a Chevy dealer, and I asked him if they had straightened out DEF yet he said nope stay away

[@xTheJmanChannel]

@@jkfishnhunt684 That's crazy, guess I'll stick with my Tundra as I don't need a gas HD and if I am limited to half tons... based off of the above I'll assume my conception of the big 3's half tons being garbage is correct. If nothing else, when was the last time the big 3 made a truck with a 5+ liter v8 and also given you 4.30s stock gearing. Everyone complains about mpg with the Tundra, but I am running 35 inch k02s, with 3/1inch level and getting 15 mpg with no re-tune. It's just an actual truck compared to the aluminum cans I see everywhere.

[@jerva245]

Haha. I was looking for this comment. To my ears, it does definitely sound like he's saying "door-a-max"

[@willie31133]

I had a 2017 L5P Duramax 2500 and loved it. It had the previous 6 speed and not the 10 speed you have in the new one but I did a few Banks Performance mods to it and made it even better. You'll love it.

[@blueovalfan23]

just my experience, one the used and wore out options.. had them all through the years. my gmc is far and away my favorite of them all. was always like you a ford guy but not anymore. ease of maintenance is a perk i wasn't expecting. you aint wrenching on a new truck but there are small but beneficial differences in approach of assembly. makes things easier to to fix. honestly though i don't have to do anything more than oil changes now but it's pretty sweet with you can reach what you want without pulling this or that.

[@nathanmosteller2965]

Try not to worry to much Mike, the way you take care of your stuff, you should have that truck for a long time. It is a beautiful truck and I can't wait to see you pull your trailers with it.

Hope it works out for you. My brother bought a new 2020 Ford f150. After a year it started using a court of oil every 1000 miles. It only had 10k miles. Been doing it ever since. He’s loves the truck. He’s taken it back to get it fixed between the dealership and Ford he’s got quite the runaround. He is about to trade to something else. This is the 3rd F150 he’s owned. Other 2 no problems. This one he’s had the oil issue. No heavy pulling. Very happy for you Mike. Well earned and deserved.

Nice truck! Ford guy myself and I too gave up on them with their delivery waits. I ended up renting an F250 waiting for what was supposed to be a month that ended up being 6 months. Ended up in a Ram 2500 which I actually like better than the F250. It's a much more comfortable truck to drive, perhaps not quite the power of the power stroke, but the Cummins does just fine as I don't tow with it. I will mention this, a friend of mine did get a 2021 Duramax and can't keep it out of the shop which is disappointing. He has had the truck just randomly go into "limp" mode several times and will not correct it's self until he takes it in for reset, they have yet to figure out why and it still happens he says 3-5 times a year.

Very well put describing Ford's design/delivery conundrum. Ordering a new vehicle and taking delivery of a year old vehicle does not make financial sense. You made a good decision getting the GMC.

[@TheNewenglandboys]

Congrats on the new truck! Always an exciting feeling. As for the warranty though, you do realize they call it a 5 year warranty but your really paying for just the last two years since the truck is already covered bumper to bumper for the first 3 years or 36,000 miles usually. And I believe the diesel motor is already covered 5 years? Either way it gives you some piece of mind for the price. Can you cancel your order on the F350 since they’ve delayed it? Just curious. Hey enjoy the new ride! And I like that color to!
