I like that they finally moved the multi-function display to the top of the dash where it's closer to a driver's sight lines.

I was about to buy a GMC 3500HD CC SB SRW 4x4 diesel pickup, but the old dash configuration and the thick rear doors with no pockets kept the money on my side of the table. When they get this interior in the HD pickups, I'll be back.

Hopefully you will see this by next summer! Yes, I like those gages as well as the configurable DIC. When towing, I can focus on trans temp. When driving distances, I can focus on fuel economy. And there is so many more.

Amen brother....that's a nice looking layout for sure. I see that the suspension includes "third generation magnetic ride control with twin-tube shocks"....I'm not sure if I have 1st or 2nd generation on my burb, but the shocks are $250 each....I can't wait to see what they get for these now that they are twin tube....

Magnetic ride control was developed for the Corvette, and has migrated across vehicles. I drove a Cadillac DTS with it, and it really made a difference. It was amazing how much difference the shock could make in a short time.

Yes it's wonderful...makes a 3/4 ton truck ride like a luxury sedan. I am a fan of the technology, but not the cost of repairing it....I see you sold your 2500 burb before you needed to change the shocks. I wound up disabling auto-ride on my burb because I couldn't bring myself to spend $1000 on a set of shocks.

Now that the new shocks are twin-tube those repair costs are only going to get worse...

I like the keyless entry/push button starting. I have it on my Passat, not on Burb or Malibu lease. It's a quick forming habit that drives me crazy when I switch vehicles!

I also noticed the keyless entry and push-button start. It took me a couple weeks to get used to this on the Buick Regal I was driving, but immediately missed it on my Sierra.

Becomes a quick habit to leave key fob in your pocket.

Not crazy about the exterior. When the current body style came out in 2007, I absolutely hated it. Now I absolutely love it. So the new body style may just grow on me.

I really like everything I see, what busts my bubble is thinking about price. Hey my Moms 69 Merc Marquis wagon had fold flat 2nd and 3rd row seats, a good idea should transcend brands.

Very nice styling..also like the powertrains. But then I'm a Sub fan.
