I just rolled 69,000 on my 2015 nht, 6.2, 8spd. Two transmission rebuilds and umpteen reprograms, and getting a new engine next week for a dropped valve when a spring broke! I love my truck!!!!! I’m just glad I had the 100k drive train warranty.

I bought mine with just a tick over 40k on it. I bought the extended 100k warranty and it worked out for me also. Radiator and condenser fixed on mine.

I'm at 124k now. I've changed out the air filter three times, oil changes, tires, and brakes. That's it, and zero problems w/o a catch can. I have new wires and plugs ready to go. Also swapping ou

Just hit 120k on my 2015. I plan to write up a little review of the last 2 or so years with the truck. I honestly drive it pretty hard. With the nht package, the 3.73s with the 6spd really pull in m

I now have 137k miles on mine. Was toying around with trading mine in or selling out rite, but decided to keep it. No plans on getting rid of it now. I like it too much and hate the looks of the 19’s. Once it is paid off I plan on getting a CT’s-v or similar 4 door sports car. Wish I could just get a camaro or Vette, but having a wife and 1 year old it’s not in the cards haha

I am currently around 108k on mine. Still running  nicely. I owe a couple more months of payments and it will be paid off. No reason to jump back into more payments just yet. The truck will be around for several more years. Hopefully another 5 would be good with me.

Good to hear guys!  I am almost on 80K problem is.....it runs so God Dang good I think I am gonna see if 300K is in my future.  I like the new ones and some things  are kinda disappointing to see  in other areas where they cut corners as in GM fashion they most definitely did not cut corners on Powertrain. As it stays the same, yet more refined.  I just really like how the K2's are solid,quiet and efficient.  Who knows give me 15K off a T1 and twist my finger.......but I really don't want to let this one go!

Tough call for me.  I like my 15 so much, I thought of buying an 18 to refresh my odometer.  There are still some good deals but the financial part of the equation still favours keeping my 15.  I anticipate there will be additional repair costs associated with higher miles and no warranty but they won't match the trade-in costs.

Thought I had a lot on my '15. Just turned over 68.5k this weekend. Bought it with 36k 16mo ago, so I'm sure I'll be into the 100's in no time. Hoping to keep this one to the 10yr mark. Would put me just over 264k miles if I keep at the 2.2k mi/mo pace I'm going at now.

 

Kept my '03 Yukon to 187k before electrical gremlins were taking longer to deal with than I had time to give it. Rest of that truck was still solid though.

When this tread started it would be a year before I'd buy Pepper. July 2016 with a thousand miles on her. Now 86,000. Modifications? Some. Repairs? One, a pinion seal. Still have factory installed tires & wipers. Once I got my suspension sorted I've just enjoyed the drive. I'll have this one a long time....barring hail, deer, drunks, texters and other assorted road/weather hazards.

I agree, I have a 15 Sierra and other then the interior lighting being red nothing different on 16-18 models. (Inside wise)

Just thought I would update my post. The last time I updated I had 108k back in March. Here it is the end of July and I still am in the 108k mile range. I have been mostly using my truck around town. My little Honda CRZ has been piling up the miles however. Truck still runs and drives great. It needs a good cleaning from driving it to Nashville and back in late June for an interview in a torrential down pour. Oh and it's paid for now. No car payments!!

Bought mine with 1640 miles on it, just turned 75K.  Got another year of payments, and not looking for another car/truck payment for a while, so I'll see how long this thing will last me.

I have thought about changing plugs, just haven't done it yet. How big of a job was it?

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By c4racer2 · Posted

      that is pretty awesome MPG there!  I think so far one observation is these trucks do way better on MPG under 65mph vs 70+ and they really suffer at 75+   I noticed on the stretches into NE on 76 and 80 which is posted 75MPH and I was doing 82 I was getting more like 13.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By newdude · Posted

      No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.
