My new GMC
I brought home a new 2015 GMC 2500hd this weekend. SLT, pretty well loaded and GORGEOUS! I love this thing! Traded in a '13 GMC that was an excellent truck, just boring. I never fell in love with...

Thank you, everyone. N-trouble, I don't understand the hight difference either. Both are CC shortbed 4X4 on 20" wheels. I measured this difference at the back of the bed, btw. Have never seen this mentioned before.
our 15 2500 GMC Denali is 2" taller overall 2" higher to the top of the bed and 2" taller to the seats than our 04. same cc/4x4/sb duramax.
In almost every respect the 15 is far superior to the 04.5.
Two cases that I liked the 04 better are the lower ride height and overall height, and better view over the hood. On the 04 I didn't need to use the running boards to get into the seat. on the 15 I do. and while the taller square hood gives better cooling, it does cut down on visibility. really noticed that on a two track road through the hills, a few times couldn't see far enough in front to see the downhill side of the road and the turn afterwards. and harder in parking lots.
This is already well known if comparing back to an 04. OP was comparing to his previous 13' which IMO shouldn't be any different on the hitch height. Bed height maybe a little, but not hitch height.
