2017 GMC/Chevy DEF tank!

This is an odd thread. The DEF Tank on GM hasn't moved since 2011. Are you just now noticing it? I can't recall a single instance where I have read someone has had a problem with the location when off road or a farmer in a field. Not sure why some think that now the 2017 would have any issues. I have been plenty of places with my truck and have never come close to hitting the DEF tank.

These posts are obviously written by people that haven't driven a GM since the model update in 2015. If you had, you would upgrade. I have driven the Ford, have a friend that has one - nice truck, but not as nice as the GM. I have a friend with a Dodge. Can't deny that the Cummings engine is great, but not the transmission and certainly not the quality of anything else on the road.

Seems like a case of envy trying to come up with excuses why your truck is better. Like most people that drive a certain kind of truck, you have to justify why you like your brand...

Why are you trying to bring common sense to this post? You will soon learn that it does not apply on these forums.:B

You can bet that if it was an issue it would have been moved a long time ago.

I would think that the fill tube being under the hood would have something to do with that design. I would also think there are fewer issues with putting DEF into the fuel tanks because it is not under the fill cover on the other two. Those locations have been discussed and cussed many times on this forum.
