Call me crazy but I kind of like the muted diesel clatter with my Cummins. This new Durmax sounds like a very impressive truck. I'm still not a fan of the DEF tank location or IFS, but the new injection pump may prove to be a great change by GM.

I understand the concern about the DEF tank but don't get the IFS thing. What is it about IFS that y'all don't like? They sure do ride and drive nice. I'm not trying to start a bashing thing just trying to educate myself. I worked for a lawn and landscape company for many years that had a fleet of trucks used for everything from hauling equipment trailers to snow plowing to just general landscaping use. We had all the brands of trucks, cant say I remember any of them being brought in for front driveline work. The owner liked to buy cheap worn out trucks and just keep them going. The only thing he would stay away from were the 6.0l Fords, he was burned to many times, lots of 7.3s running around there though.

I've been driving IFS trucks for the last 20 years and never had a problem granted mine have been half tons and the worst they have seen was some mild off roading.

Try towing a HEAVY 5er, from the people I have talked to the IFS will bounce up and down MUCH more than a straight axle.

I have to nominate this statement as the biggest load of BS award for 2017.

Sorry were you at the DRV Factory where I had lots of communications with people towing 20-23K with all three trucks??? Guess what every single Ford had to have bags.
