New Truck for our Pinnacle

[Rob_Fla]

We made a big mistake, we stopped by the GMC Dealer to look at 3500HD Trucks to get a idea of what the cost would be to move up from our 07 2500HD to a new 3500HD.

Well, they got us, lots of rebates and a great offer on our 2500HD.

We now have a 2012 GMC 3500HD SLT

Nice looking truck for sure.

I don't think you made a big mistake at all. I am tempted to go make the same mistake on my 2005 as well. Great looking truck, Rob.

Looks like it'll pull. Bigger toys for bigger boys.

Very nice! Love the look of a white vehicle.

That's the way to make a mistake Rob. :king_grin:

Bet it looks good hooked to the 5ver and you will certainly notice the difference with the heavier dually going down the road especially when really windy.

Thinking of installing an extra fuel tank in the bed of ours...ever considered that?

Thanks Larry

We do not have the hitch installed in it yet, need to get some Break-In miles on it, it only had 12 miles on it when we picked it up.
They will be doing the spray in bed liner on Thursday.

As far as the extra tank in the bed guess I will have to how our range is with the current fuel tank.

I agree Dan, just was nice for a little while with no payments !!!!

With our tank, yours probably the same, we can comfortably go about 300-350 miles towing.

Main reason I'm looking at an extra tank is if/when we run across some some fuel at a really good price we can take advantage. Plus not having to stop as often.

A member in our camping group has a 51 gallon tank in his bed and he recently when on a trip from Reno taking I-80 West to the coast up to So. Oregon then met our group for an outing in No. Cal. He said he had enough to get back to Reno and did not have to stop for fuel. 650 + miles pulling their 39' 5ver. Has had his tank for a few years and swears by them.

Larry, when you get yours, send me a picture of it :hihi:

When it happens will do Rob. :big_grin:

Had our first trip with the RDS 63 gallon aux tank installed. Best thing I have done for the truck. Fueled up in vegas for $3.49 and went to SoCal for a week. Cruised right by the interstate truck stops with diesel at $4.59. Put a few extra gallons in while we were camping at Port Hueneme Naval Base. Never had to worry about where I would fill up or wasting time standing in line at truck stops to pay for fuel. It's an awesome convenience and may save me a few dollars in the long run.

Rob, that's a nice truck - the Duramax and Allison should be a sweet combo.

Safe travels!

Thanks BO, you also have a nice looking setup too.

We may look at a Aux Tank in the future, right now just need to get the bed liner sprayed in and the hitch installed so we can hit the road in about a week.
