Well, after all of these years, I finally did it.

I bought a new truck, holy cow it's nice compared to my 2006 2500HD, it's gonna take me a long time to figure out all the buttons, bells and whistles. These new trucks are way too complicated, it's a loaded 2026 GMC 2500HD Denali Duramax. The power these trucks have is insane, compared to my old 2006 Chevy 2500HD 6.0L gasser, not even in the same ballpark.

Bad picture, it was to dark outside.

Beautiful truck and I'm sure it's gonna take a while to figure out all the options on that thing. World of difference in the power ain't it almost seems it's too much power at times. Is it light gray or blue? Does it have the adaptive cruise control I don't remember it they were putting them on the 3/4 and 1 tons? The last I knew super cruise was not an option on those but they sure have about every other option on them. I still don't really trust the super cruise and the adaptive cruise can be a pain in the butt last year we bought a 24 Suburban High Country and like you it's taken awhile to figure the stuff out and still not sure I use it all.
Awesome truck congratulations and good luck with it

GRATS ON THE NEW RIDE, IT'S ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS AND WILL SERVE YOU WELL! I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A GMC/CHEVY GUY, LOOKING AT WHAT YOU JUST GOT TO PULL A TRAVEL TRAILER AFTER WE SELL THIS PLACE AND MOVE THIS COMING SPRING TO WEST TEXAS. I HAD A 2015 GMC DURAMAX 2500 LONG-BED UNTIL THREE YEARS BACK, NEVER SHOULD HAVE SOLD IT. RAY

Very sweet ride! So many creatures comforts to make any ride enjoyable!
Miss my '06 Dmax and yes there's no comparison in power next to a gas burner!

Beautiful truck! Congrats! I'm still figuring out things on my 23 Colorado Z71. I have decided I love adaptive cruise and blind spot alerts. Took me awhile and I still hover over the brake if nearing a vehicle but it has worked flawlessly.

Hell of a truck you've got there. Living in Cali this won't affect you, but it seems like every Chevy or GMC truck in these parts gets a severe case of leprosy after about 5 years around the rear wheel wells. Even undercoating and washing doesn't seem to help. Fords, Dodges, and Toyota's seem to last much longer without showing any signs of the disease.

Enjoy, she sure is a beaut

Nice UNIT!

I priced out a new truck recently. I'll keep my 2006 for a bit longer, the new ones are ridiculous. When I get my house paid off, then I'll mortgage a new truck. Congrats on yours!

It's light gray, and it does have the adaptive cruise control.
Since it was so close to the end of the yr the dealer made us a deal we couldn't pass up, including the bumper to bumper 7 yr extended warranty.
I drove to three other dealers, with the out the door price and what the truck came with to keep them honest, all three dealers said the exact same thing, BUY IT, one even went as far as saying if we didn't buy it he was going to buy it to sell on his lot.

Damn, I was so intimidated driving it home from the dealership, it seems like it's half a size bigger than the 06. LOL!!! I haven't driven it enough to get used to the new sight picture, I felt like I was gonna clip something on the passenger side. And holy hell, these things are tall. I barely got into one that didn't have running boards, and my wife looked at me and said NO Frick'n way!!! She said when your back is flared up that I'd need to call for a load assistance team to get me into the damn thing, she was right.
