Picked up a new 2019 LTZ 2500 Duramax this weekend

[Hammerboy]

Had my eyes open for the last 4 months first thinking 2019, then 2020 and back the 2019. Yes it's outdated, doesn't have all the cool towing gadgets of the 2020's but I really like this truck and am very content with it. Good time to buy trucks, I figured if I can pick up a new truck for what I see similarly equipped used ones for sale for the same or lower price I think I did ok. This one has everything I wanted but a bedliner and puck system.

Fortunately I have all winter to think of what to do for a hitch. The rails I had with my Patriot slider never really bothered me so maybe I'll do that again. Then again maybe I'll see what it takes to install a factory puck on it or even a BW turnover ball and go with a Anderson, Companion, or even convert to a Reese Goosebox. Like I said I have all winter ahead of me lol.

So anyway here she is.

Good choice on the 2019. I like the Silver too.

The 2020 Chevy HD is ugly as sin.

I saw one in person a few weeks ago, they are extremely tall too.

2020 Chevy HD - ugly front end and very TALL

Congrats and that new truck.... I would take a '19 over a '20 year model any day just on the looks alone. And good choice on that garden tractor.

BTW... This truck looks exactly like my dads truck.

Ha ha, I would be disowned from my wife's family if I bought any thing else but a Deere. It's a 2005 Gx345. I'm already pushing it for not driving a Ford pickup (they are super brand loyal) and that would push me out of the family for sure lol.

Last year we sold our last Case International cotton picker and purchased our second John Deere cotton picker with a baler. Man these are some machines.

Paint that cotton picker red and it will run better. 😉

Nothing Runs Like a Deere. Best equipment ever.:B

Deere is the best equipment ever is right, at least the ones they don't sell at the big box stores. I paid probably close to twice the price buying this used than what I could have picked up a big box version of a Deere. This one will probably outlive them yet too.:B

Very nice truck. I have the gasser version, same color. I love mine. So much better than my 0ld 02 Gasser. I only tow 7500 to 8000lbs 15 to 20 times a year and I don't daily drive my truck. So the diesel does not make sense for me. Enjoy it!
