Got rid of my 2014 5.3 Crew cab and grabbed a 2017 6.2 NHT from Laura GMC. Flew out and drove 1800 miles back to california. Awesome drive back home with me and the wife and checked out some cool stuff. Flight there and hospitality and transaction at Laura GMC was first class. In-n-out in less than an hour. So far so good and really happy with the 6.2, it is a beast on power and pulls my trailer without hesitation. Got home and put my wheels and tires on it and the leveling kit, even though I forgot to put the top spacer on, so its not quite level right now. Tinted the windows and got a spray on bed liner. Awesome truck and love the Apple Carplay.

Flew down to Laura last month myself for my 6.2 AT....although I only had 550 miles to drive it back home, but agree, everything about the transaction was wonderful! Mostly the price though, $4k less than any other dealer I looked at...nice truck!

You have a really nice truck! I love my 6.2l NHT ltz. By far the best truck I've had by far. I'll like it even more when I get the GM borla, and Maggie on it.

48.8k out the door. Still have to pay registration out here though. with flight there and fuel back home I'm probably right at 50k. Still 6k off the truck they had here locally and it wasn't an SLT premium, it didn't have Navi, sunroof, driver alert, all the parking and safety stuff, and they wanted 56k out the door. Finally got the upper spacer in tonight and the stance is a lot better.

I paid 37 out the door for mine. 2014 5.3 NHT, std bed 4wd LT. To think that someone would pay 20k more for the same truck + 6.2 and options, is mindboggling.

Totally understand and agree with you lol, although it's more like 10k-13k increase, but I'll tell ya one thing, I have zero regrets getting a truck optioned this high just so I could get the 6.2 8sp combo.

 

If GM offered the 6.2 in lower trimmed trucks I'd most likely be driving around in a cloth LT/SLE tho :-) I guess they know what they're doin!

What was the MSRP on yours? I assume this one was over 60k and may have some options other than 6.2 that yours doesn't? Could be wrong though.

That's the first thing I sold when I traded my 2014 for the 2016 :)

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
