Same here love the new gmc sierra... But ur right interior does look nice and I bet the ride from a 3/4 to 1/2 is a big difference much nicer, I was thinking about going back down since the new Denali truck comes with a 6.2L just can't talk my self into the payment lol

5 foot 7 inch bed Glenn .we are keeping the dodge 3/4 ton as it has the 5.9 cummins and only 60000 miles . but we stopped at the dealer and saw this one test drove it and it was all over.they made us a cash no trade deal we couldn't refuse.I think it will be a nice farm truck  >:D

Congrats on the new truck AND of course making the right choice in manufacturer.  I was looking at new ones yesterday but those backseats are just too small for even my kids.  Center console is way too big for my long legs too.  You are going to hVe to stop calling if a Dodge sometime though. Lol
Gord what kind of mileage were you getting in the other one?  Thought about getting one of the new 7 speed 6 cylinders that are knocking down 25+ mpg for my Alaska trip but the interior space just ain't there so my search for a 7.3 continues. . .

towing I was getting about 19,just driving 21-22. don't think the new 1 will get near that so far shows about 15-16 but I didn't but it because it gets 50 mpg.you must have big ass kids cause I had 2 adults in the back seat last night and they raved about all the room

Yeah well the older one is checking in these days at 5'6" and about 150 lbs.
  He will be 13 in May!   :o        Sure glad I could find the Mega cab when I did!  But a steady diet of 13 mpg ain't much fun.
