The duramax makes plenty of power, no need for improvement there. But the same old 6.0 HP and torque? That is disappointing unless you are a GM fan boy.

Says the Ford fan boy.

I have to ask, have you ever driven a GM 6.0?

I tow regularly with an older 300hp/360tq version and it continues to impress me. No disappointment here.

A friend of mine has a 2008 F450 Diesel, He is leaving for Florida for Jan & Feb Should he take the 2 battries out or leave them in. What will happen??

[FishOnOne]

I got to say the front grill and bumper on the Chevy looks terrible.

I kinda like the 6.0...... So no issues there for me, although I agree that the 6.2 will be a nice fit in the future if it's rated for true HD use. It's not uncommon to see the same engine line go into a new design for a year or 2.....so we will see. Still keeping my 09 though really enjoy this truck.

Chevy will continue (at least for the next year or two) to use the small OHV Vortec 6000 that’s still rated at a mediocre 360 horsepower and 380 pounds-feet of torque. Likewise, Chevy will continue to use the Duramax turbo diesel — 397 hp and 765 pounds-feet of torque –and Allison 1000 transmissions."


Same powertrain hp & tq numbers for the 6.0L gasser and the Duramax. Boo.

do you know when the new CAFE standards kick in? I'm thinking 2016 is when the LML is scheduled to be retooled to meet the new EPA regs.

I figured when I purchased my 2013, that they would upgrade the engines for next year. I am happy that mine is still current, but disappointed that GM chose not to improve on a good engine line, like they did with the 1500's.

Have you been in the new 2014 1500s? I truly like the new interior, and the truck is much quieter!

No I haven't and your right pictures certainly don't compare to being up close and personal with something, I might very well like the interior better when I get into one. I need to check one of these out. I have to say, I have always favored the looks of the Ram HD'S but this redesign looks every bit as good, dare I say even better than the Ram.

I also like that there staying with proven powertrain's, particularly the 6.0 liter.

I am sure they will sell well !!! Nice Rides !!!!

WOW, The payload for the 2500 is 1,111 lbs MORE than my 2008 2500HD

But only 900 more than my 2013. Remember, those are maximum numbers, not 4wd, not diesel, not crew cab.
