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.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.
