Picked up mine today after waiting 2 days for the dealer to tint the windows, spray in a bedliner, clear bra the front end, and install the Katzkin leather seats. I'm pretty impressed with how quiet this truck is - similar to my wife's BMW 7 series. Visibility is pretty good, switchgear is pretty ergonomic, and the steering feels tight without any wandering or poor on-center feel. Did find 2 flaws - a rusted trim fastener, and pitting of the chrome on the edge of the front bumper

 

Pros- nice ride, quiet, good steering, impressive interior, voice control works well, fuel economy is way better than my 01 6.0 without much trade-off of power, 6 speaker non-Bose is actually decent in sound quality (helps that the interior has little background noise), rear corner steps and hand holds work very well, love having a overhead grab handle on the driver's side

 

Cons- key fobs feel like Cracker Jack toys (SLE) - the SLT key fobs feel more substantial, hard to reach seat controls due to limited space

I have been shopping trucks for months and it came down to the Tundra or GMC. The GMC with it's many unique options, great looks, and value won out for me. Located this one a few hours from me and pulled the trigger last night. SLT DC 4X4 Z71, loving it so far! Many thanks to members on this forum for the information, reviews, and pictures posted that helped me decide.

    • This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715
    • Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄
    • Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished
    • As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.
    • That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
