Haven't had an issue with my 2012 or the 2016 with the def tank location- I agree it's not the most aesthetically pleasing but the AMP steps and the aftermarket guard I have completely hide it.

I have 34k miles on my 10 month old 2016 and am getting at least 5k miles between def fill ups- which is what I got with the 2012. Most of those miles are towing. (I grabbed 10,000 #'s of steel pipe for the ranch this morning which was a 600 mile round trip...)

I agree it could be done better but it certainly won't hold me back from buying another GM truck... If it's a deal breaker for someone then they likely didn't want a GM truck to begin with...

I agree. I have 34K on my 2015 3500HD. I am off road a lot. Being an excavation contractor in Idaho, necessitates being off road. I have had no issues in this pickup or any GM pickup that I have had with smashing that location. I agree it could happen. I also wish that they would come up with something else, but like mentioned, it wont stop from buying another. I pretty happy with these pickups.
