New rails installed prices
I got a new to me 2021 GMC Duramax and I called for a price quote oh just a new set of rails for a Reese 16K hitch and I was quoted about $800.00. Is that a good price?

When I talked to the sales person he told me that part of the price was removing the fender shirts which is time consuming so made there is quite a lot of labor in installing the rails
Still presuming you don’t have pucks? Only asking because a fairly high % of newer HD trucks come with 5ver prep, and even more common if it’s a high option truck like yours that has wheel well liners.
Regardless, you’re now hearing bullsheet stories from the salesman. Actually playin you for a sucker if he’s saying there’s significant labor time involved with removing the rear fender well liners. (Presuming you don’t actually have the only new Duramax sporting actual fender skirts, which are different than wheel well liners.)
Although you could call his bluff and get a quote without fender liners, lol. Go look at your truck. They’re flexible plastic and likely held in by 6 or 9 little push pins/retainer thingamajiggys. I’d give em 5 min/ ea to install or remove.
