My friends tell me the same thing. They love them. I do know that many are pissed off at all the new ones (dodge, ford, GM) because they have a slew of emissions crap on them that is creating reliability issues. I think 2007 is about as new as you can get without the new headaches. I would stay clear of Ford. I know more folks who have moved from Ford than any other brand. My sister had two of them that gave her nothing but problems. She now has a Dodge Mega-cab and so far, she likes it. But GM does have the Alison and from what I gather, that's the tranny to beat. The new Cummings paired up with the Alison would be a heck of a drive train. I have an 08 Sierra Denali with AWD. I love the truck, it has plenty of power (with the help of some bolt on's), but if I were to tow on a frequent basis, I'd swap it out for the new Sierra Denali 3/4 ton with Duromax. That truck looks pretty sweet..
