Congratulations.
I pick up my new Superduty 5 days ago and still trying to read via 630 pages of manual.
The 360 degree cameras are amazing, voice recognition not so.
Have fun.

Congrats! Very nice truck!

I would sure like to have the all new 2017 Duramax, but it's hard to justify since my current dually only has 47.5k miles on it.

If I ever get hit with SOS (Shiny Object Syndrome) I will probably opt for a GMC instead of a Chevy.

Heck, that never stops me! LOL. My friends say I have a truck problem, but really I just have a spending problem.

54, congrats on your newfound direction. Many of us have been a precursor to your move. I see an interesting pattern here.
It seems like many jeeper types start off
1. just tent camping at the trailhead or near the trail's edge near their jeeps. Check.
2. Then when age rears its inevitable head, there is a push to camp IN some kind of weather protective box and OFF the ground. Check.
3. An under sized truck with a big 'ol camper on the back seems like a good solution because you can flat tow the jeep: i.e.: have it all. Check. (This could also be transposed to boat owners.)
4. This works well when you are in an active off-road, jeeping, or boating life style just trying to get to the trailhead or launch facility on a Friday night. Check.
5. Then the inevitable itch to actually travel in the weather protective box looms larger than the itch to jeep. Check.
6. You start traveling and find you are moving with too many accouterments and realize it's time to jettison some stuff. Check.
7. You start thinking about using the truck camper as the minimal off-road conveyance. The problem is the size and weight of the camper. Check.
8. You get into a downsizing mode going, it seems, backward in reducing the size and weight of your contraption to fit your current perceived needs and circumstances. Check. Many of us have been there.

Congrats on the new truck! What you are reducing is exactly what I'm looking to add. I'm about a year out. Sounds like a nice truck-

I think he meant double cab versus prior crew cab.
