Husband finally got his Forever Truck - it has every thing he ever wanted , 4WD, Diesal, Moon Roof etc and it will take forever to pay for ! High Country makes you feel like you are getting the luxury truck. Love the heated seats - my husband loves the cooling , but that I don't need. Pulled trailer with son's car with no problems. Tried watching movie in back but either I have very sensitive hearing because I could still hear conversations and radio in front so it did not work for me. Still breaking in , city getting 13 mpg , 16 mpg on Highway - but much better than 8-10 mpg he got on his 2010 gas engine.

i ordered a brand new truck after being convinced by the dealer that it would tow and be able to work as hard as my past 2002 3500hd 8.1 truck. the payload and comfort were great but it just couldn't tow as much as was advertised. there were other issues with traction controls and power management which also acted up. overall i kept the truck for 2 years and sold it back to the dealer to get out from under it.

Let me start with the good. It pulls like a freight train and gets very good fuel economy. I have not had the "electrical" issues that others have stated, however, I have suffered far worse. The LML duramax engine in these trucks (2011-2016) is very prone to snapping the crankshafts when they are worked hard. I have had 4 of them break on different trucks. I also have had the transfer cases go out on 2 of them. The crankshaft repairs are not cheap ($12,000). They crank failure point seems to be around 180,000 to 250000 miles. Another problem is that parts are so high. Need a fuel injector....400 bucks, and then it it needs coded....change 8 of them and that's 2400 dollars! And then 500 dollars to have them coded at dealership. Everything on these rigs is so darn expensive. Yet, I still own them... Still haven't figures that one out! Maybe you will get lucky and have a good one...

This is a beautiful truck. Had way more options than I was looking for but ended up falling in love with the truck and buying it.
