Some painted bumpers do not hold up. Eight months old and my bumper has no less than twenty chips. Some as big as a quarter. The dealer did not want to stand behind it and said don't bring it back here... Wow.

Picked up a stone blue 2016 2500 Denali from Bayer Motors in Comanche TX. Best truck ever, as my wife says. 500 mile drive to dealer was definitely worth it. Looking for a big loaded truck? Call Jeremy. It’s been a year and this truck has been a real workhorse. Pulling trees and clearing/hauling are no problem. Has been our best truck to date

I bought my truck as a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle almost 2 years ago with the primary purpose of towing a 35' travel trailer. It had about 16k miles on it when I bought it and currently has less than 45k miles. We went with the diesel (model in the review says 6.0L since diesel wasn't listed as an option) since we eventually want to get a heavier 5th Wheel camper. I'm now considering getting rid of it due to the number of times I've had to return for service. The check engine light has come on 3 times in the past 2 months (EGR valve, mass airflow sensor and DEF heater). The truck left us stranded out of town with the camper when the mass airflow sensor failed. Besides the check engine light, there was a power steering fluid leak (known by GM due to Service Bulletin) and some sort of known issue with a bad weld on the diesel exhaust that apparently causes excessive smoke. I'm anticipating that being a problem one of these days. Not sure that I can rely on this truck for what I bought if for.I'm extremely disappointed so far and since this is my first time purchasing a GM product, I'll likely not return as a customer in the future.

Be sure to take this truck on an extended test drive. I was in the car business for 30 years and must be a slow learner but didn't heed my own advice. The cabin is very nice and comfortable which is important because we are driving long distances pulling a 5th wheel. Performance and towing capability are good but I think the published tow rating is optimistic. I am pulling a 14,500# unit and feel I am undersized. GMC rates this truck to pull 17,100- it's a diesel. The engine and trans are fine but the suspension is light. My other sore spot is the the sloppy steering. It's light without an load and terrible when pulling. I wouldn't recommend this product and will be not keeping it for long.
