Thanks for the advice. LOL at this point I already have it and I love it. This baby duramax LWN makes me regret not getting the LML when I was shopping for the HD. I just never needed it, and after having the full size for 2.5 years, i realize i didn't even need that. This little guy suits me well, and I've been enjoying it. SO MUCH EASIER TO FIND PARKING LOL. I do miss the luxury of the full size, buy I couldn't justify the amount of gas I was using. Its obvious that GM skimps on the features in the midsize, but I think I was just really spoiled with the 2500 LTZ.
Overall I'm very happy, and I look forward to keep this little guy running strong for a long time. I have yet to get it out on some trails, but I hope to do that soon. Until then, cheers.
