  1. Does anybody have this tonneau cover on their truck? If so, what are your thoughts? https://www.roughcountry.com/product/hard-roll-up-bed-cover-50120651 I had a BakFlip X2 on my 2018 with good overall luck- just looking at other similar alternatives. Not interested in any other brands or styles.
  2. Well the brake sensor isn't going to have anything to do with your TPMS...it's likely you've got a bad TPMS sensor...
  3. Mine is similar…3,4XXlbs of payload. You’ve got to go 3500 to get that extra leaf for max payload in an SRA. i have not towed with it yet…just got it the day after Christmas. For my needs, I think it will suit me fine…but I have realistic expectations. That 10spd is magic but don’t expect it to grunt it out like my D.Max. That black 2018 Duramax for example had just under 2k payload.
  4. Haha…my wife had a really hard time getting rid of our last truck because of all the memories attached to it and got pretty emotional a couple of times. It was my daily driver for the last 3-1/2 years, too. I Fluid-Filmed it 1-2x per year and was pretty ****** about keeping up to date on cleaning & maintenance. She’s really liking our new truck so far, though and do am I. I’m looking more and more forward to “making it mine.”
  5. Traded in my 2018 2500HD All-Terrain HD SLT diesel with 176k on a 2025 2500HD Custom gas with 1 mile. I bought the GMC new and it was good to me for the most part but I did have a few issues with it over the years and although I took very good care of it and it still looked awesome with no rust, it was starting to develop some quirks and I ultimately made the call to replace it vs. flying closer and closer to the sun. My wife cried because she really loved our GMC and I was a little upset to my stomach too (giving up memories and cost of replacement), but it was time. I chose gas over diesel this time mainly because of initial cost (purchased off grid camp on 10ac last year and that eats into our finances), I really don’t NEED the diesel, and although I may miss the grunt, I’m not sure the juice will be worth the squeeze for how I’m using it most of the time. I landed on the Custom package because of overall value. I really liked my SLT All-Terrain’s interior and features but again, it really came down to cost and being honest with myself about needs vs. wants. I liked the leather and buckets/console but never used the heated seats & wheel and forgot I had a sunroof most days. I feel we got an average deal (not great, but reasonable), and the transaction at our dealer was easy which counts for something with me. I considered a half ton this time but by the time I optioned a 1/2t truck for real work, I kept ending up at around the same price for an equal trim package…and a truck that lacks capability vs an HD. I’m really only towing snowmobile trailers a few times per year, but in gnarly conditions and getting pushed around by wind on snow packed roads in a lighter truck is no fun. I’ll also have my bed full (like Beverly Hillbilly full) driving 8hrs+ to our cabin and refuse to do that with the rear end sagging. So those things and also being able to tow a heavier piece of rental equipment every now and then kept me in an HD. My first impressions of the 6.6 gas engine during my test drive and on the way home from our dealership is that it’ll be better for my day to day use than the Duramax was for how I drive. It’s much more responsive and doesn’t feel heavy or sluggish. I don’t expect any disappointment until I really pour the beef to it with a load…which isn’t that often in reality. I get a vehicle allowance thru work and they pay for my fuel & basic maintenance, so while I don’t take that for granted or abuse it, the fuel mileage disparity is less of an issue.
  6. Here it is! A lot different than the 2500HD GMC All Terrain SLT Duramax truck I traded in. Gave up some things and gained others. Love the slate gray with blackout package.
  7. Thank you guys
  8. I have looked but not found- will 285/65R20’s fit without any modifications, t-bar cranks, or rubbing on a 2025 2500HD? Seems like they will but just curious. Will be trading my 2018 D-Max in on a gasser Custom soon and would like to go up one size at some point. Thanks!
  9. Do you see Jesus in your toast, too?
  10. Impact gun? Ouch. Read before you wrench.
  11. It must be the OP that’s posted on various YouTube videos about these tires and seeing USA in the treads. I can’t see that no matter how hard I don’t try. That being said, it’s good to see feedback about these tires on heavier trucks. I really like the tread & sidewall pattern as well as snow traction reviews, but am a bit concerned about their light weight compared to other tires and how that may impact their strength.
  12. Just saw these pop up today in an ad, and thought they look pretty awesome. Three ply sidewall, mileage warranty, & a 3PMS rating. My mall-terrain SR-A’s are wearing too damn slow... https://www.moderntiredealer.com/articles/31650-mickey-thompson-baja-boss-at-is-a-hybrid-all-terrain-tire
  13. Good luck finding tires; or anything for that matter, that have never given anyone any issues.
