Duramax diesel showing 22 to 23 mpg on highway. Very smooth shifting with Allison transmission (even under load). Ride is a little stiff, but expected with 2500HD. Truck is extremely capable.

This is the Duramax Diesel 2500 HD and I absolutely love this truck. I wouldn't trade it for any vehicle in the world. It pulls my 30 1990 very heavy camper like a dream, even in the mountains. I can't say enough positive about this truck.

I enjoy this truck. The diesel has a lot of pep. The manual trans. is nice after getting a feel for it. The build quality for my W/T is less than desired. Handling is excellent for a truck this size. Ride is smooth. It has some design faults (ex: windshield wipers rise only about 3" from glass, pain to work on) and penny pinching faults (ex: no sun tint on top of windshield). All in all, I recommend.

What a fun beast!

Bought it new last month. I had a problem with the overflow tank leaking into the wiring harness and ruining a control module. 10 days in the shop and then the radio had to be replaced. Some gremlins in the electronics. If it is all fixed this will be my dream truck! I have the diesel. I am getting about 17mpg at 70-75 on the highway vs 14 for my 2002 Chevy K1500 w/ the 5.3 ltr. This thing will go straight up mountains without downshifting! What a beast! I was towing about 9k lbs behind the Chevy. I can't wait to hook "Max" up to the trailer! XM is nice for trips too. I have the buckets in front and the console encroaches on my leg when driving (I'm 6'4"), but you get used to it!

Love everything about this truck. Build quality is the best I have seen in years. Will pull a heavy trailer all day and it is easy to forget it is even behind you. Mine has the Duramax diesel and Allison transmission.
