I do like my 450. I would have another one if they could make it. However, looking forward to a new style and brand. Hopefully it rides smoother than the 450. Weight capacity is close and I never pushed the boundaries with the Ford. I had a350 dually before the 450 and never had issues turning. 

I bet you will be happy then. Mine rides way better than i expected it would, its only harsh over real square edge bumps.

Mine just came in.  I got mine for under MSRP despite the dealer fielding offers for over MSRP from vultures who wanted my truck while it was getting prepped.  Lol.  A DRW Denali UItimate is one bad ass truck, still rare, and in high demand.  It sucks you have to choose now.  Maybe take the High County and trade it when the other comes in.

Very nice truck! I don't even want to ask how much that cost, even under MSRP...

Don't ask don't tell.  :)   It was spendy, but I made $3k on my 4-year old trade (a 2020 DRW Denali) and who knows how much these will cost if there's a lengthy strike.   So I feel ok about it.

Most trucks in general have reached if have to ask you can’t afford it. I’ve been informed by brother no2 that brother no1 bought a Shelby F-150. While at my local Ford dealership looking at a maverick for the first time. I looked at the window sticker of a Shelby F-150. I ran out of fingers counting how many used trucks like my Avalanche I could own instead. Looking back over my working career remembering how he would roll his eyes every time I bought a new truck. My next conversation with him is going to be interesting. Either the family business I retired from is doing better than my wildest imagination. Or.

I've had dealers ask for a deposit and dealers that didn't. I didn't put down a deposit on my 23 Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve. But I did put down a $1,000 deposit for this 23 GMC Sierra. However, I don't think they would have kept the deposit if I didn't pick up the truck. It's not like they can't sell it. The dealer even told me that they had 3 different people trying to buy it before I got there to pick it up (I was working a few states away and had to come home to get it).

I put down a $1,000 deposit on a Lexus RCF a few years ago, but bailed on it when it arrived. They still gave me back my deposit even through the paper I signed said it was non-refundable.

If you ordered three different trucks from three different dealers, you should be happy that it is only costing you 2K!!!

Never heard of a dealer special ordering a vehicle for a customer unless the purchase agreement was signed. 🤔

 

 

I have ordered 5-6 vehicles going back 15 years at different dealers without anything.

Update: I didn't take either truck. Both dealers were somewhat dishonest and changed terms. Both trucks were sold to other customers in a short period so no one was harmed. I now have an opportunity to get a Denali ultimate dually for fleet price. Several things I'm concerned about - turning radius is larger, lower bumper rating on hitch, smaller fuel tank. Ant other concerns I'm not aware of?

The turning radius sucks on any GM longbed HD truck.  But they also tow straight as an arrow in part because of the long wheelbase.  I have a DRW Denali Ultimate and it is one bad-ass tow truck.  The turning radius is just part of the deal.  I have zero regrets on the purchase.

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.

      Post Pics of your "Other" Rides

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.
