Congrats on the truck! Guessing photo location was in Kansas on your way back out west?

 

Per the question above dealing with Laura. Great place. No, they do not hound you on the lot nor will they haggle over the posted price. Sales people there are completely different(read as better) than any place I have been in the past. 

Good guess on location. Seemed like every small and I mean small town had a Deere dealer

Looking at the same ones for mine as well... I really like the GM ones, but I don't know if I like the gas pedal cut out... Seems a lot of dirt will be all over my carpet there..Thats my only hang up

Finally purchased a K2XX!

 

2018 GMC Sierra SLT premium plus

6.2L 8L90 max tow

crew cab standard bed 6.6’

 

Purchased at Laura GMC. Flew in and drove home. Great experience. No BS, no games, etc. 

 

I plan on putting bilstien on to raise front a bit to stuff a set of 285/70/17 big k02. Also need to order mud flaps and weather techs.  Need to decide on hunting g down a topper / shell or getting a roll up tonnu cover. 

 

Removing steps and premium plus wheels. 

 

Have 1600 miles on it. Super smooth. 

 

Disable the traction control and smoke em whenever :-)

 

 

Nice..I am putting the same tires and size  on mine with aftermarket wheels I had on my 2011...

 

I just put on a Rough Country solid tri-fold tonneau cover ....Pretty nice solid fold for the money, works well!

In the interest of saving some $$$ and not having to buy new wheels and tires...

 

I think I'll put these 2012 wheels on my 2018 and put the stock 97 wheels back on the 97. 

 

17" wheel is the smallest that will fit on a K2XX right?

Great video, Phil.  I've been caught up in the floor liner search and discovered that the GM version advertises that they are for trucks with a center console.  I know they are fine for trucks without consoles but helps explain the higher side.  I prefer the Husky for the full floor coverage including under the gas while exposing carpet that sees no traffic in my truck.

Yes, I wouldnt think anything smaller than that would clear the brakes.  It might not even clear a 17.

Great looking truck! I've been debating going back to a 1500 to pull my TT and be a daily driver at some point. We tow 8-9 times a year, usually less than 100 miles away, relatively flat area. The TT is 36' hitch to bumper and around 9000 in tow trim. The stability will likely be much better with a 2500 or 250, but will the 1500 be fine for what we do? I have plenty of time, so it's no rush to decide.

Yes, 17" wheels are the minimum diameter to clear the brakes...

 

Love that 97!

Thanks! Been in the family since new. Still runs great ? 

 

I'll have to test mount the wheels before I go to the tire shop to have TMPS sensors put in.

 

I suppose I need to put the bilstein 5100's on for the 285.70.17 ( 32.7") BFG Ko2 to fit. Hopefully the offset of the 17's is correct or close since GMT 900 and K2XX frames, suspension is very similar.

Seems like for what I do, a Max Tow may be the best bet. Definitely would go with the CC 6.5' setup, too!
