I have a trailer lights checker I plugged into the 7 way connector in the bed of my truck that has the 5th wheel/gooseneck hitch. It gave the camera side view with the turn signal on just like having a trailer connected but it disabled the rear bumper sensors. I would rather have the rear sensors working.

I leave mine as is. I'm always a trip away from riding on unpaved roads. Dealer can clean it when they prep it after I trade it in for another new truck.

My last three 1/2 ton GMC SLE's had the Z71 package. All of them had the 2 speed transfer case and Auto 4WD. My AT4HD has all of the above standard. In order of use, I use Auto 4WD the most then 4High. I rarely use 4LOW but like having it anyways. My next truck will probably be another AT4HD.

I usually upload to youtube then paste the link here. I haven't done it here but it worked on other forums.

I didn't see that model on the list, had to go in to see that the Trail Boss was an option for the LT. $7600 upgrade.

Just wanted to add that the GMC HD models all have LED headlights and tail lights, including the Pro model. I think the LTZ Chevy is the model that adds LED headlights. Something to think about as I read posts here about updating to LED headlights. Big price difference between Chevy Custom and LTZ.

I live in Vermont, 4WD gets used quite frequently during the year.

My 2024 AT4HD came with OEM BFG KO3's, probably a little different than the ones from a tire shop. I like them for mid-April to mid-October. I run a studded snow tire on GM wheels for the other 6 months. I just swapped them over today. I'd replace the KO3's with another set when the time comes.

If you have the 5th wheel option on your truck, the gooseneck tow rating and pin weight should be on the sticker.

I like the tow mirrors on my 25 AT4HD. It took me a bit to get them set up, especially the bottom part. When I had 1/2 ton trucks, I always put a convex mirror in the top outside part of the mirror so I could see cars driving next to the rear corner or next to me up to the door handles. With the current mirrors, I set the convex bottom part the same way. As far as blind spots, I just take my time before turning right on red, etc. I drive strictly by the mirrors before changing lanes, etc.

By the time you get an axle, bed, etc. Maybe it’s best to just buy a dually if you want one.

What options were listed on the window sticker? Sounds like they installed an aftermarket fifth wheel setup and not the factory fifth wheel/gooseneck option. Not so easy to install the factory option after the truck is built. The dealer list of options doesn’t look right. The X31 Off-Road Package isn’t usually listed separately on an AT4HD. I could be wrong. i would talk to the dealer before calling your lawyer. It’s kind of on you to make sure the truck that you are buying has what you want before plunking down $90k.

The cheapest GMC Pro model has LED headlights. I get it that some like Chevrolet trucks over GMC but this is not the first thread I’ve seen about wanting to replace the halogen headlights.

Buy what you like, life is to short. If you get a Ram and don’t like it, go back to what suits your needs and wants!

You’re crazy! Just kidding. Is there a reason for the 3500HD over the 2500HD? I have a cap on mine and it sits about 1k pounds over curb weight with 2 of us in the truck. With 60psi in front and rear, it rides pretty good. I’m retired and it’s my only vehicle. It doesn’t keep me from going where ever. Truck will be 2 years old next week and have just under 26k miles. Your trailer tongue weight should be between 10% to 15%, 650 lbs to 975 lbs. Well within the specs of a 2500HD. My tongue weight is rated at 1600 lbs and max towing at 16k lbs for a bumper pull. Registration here is by GVWR. If I had max towing package or a 3500, it would cost me more. Diesel here is more than gas plus DEF costs.
