Just a plain old custom, so just below an LT but about a W/T. What was weird was the this had more options that I wanted then the LT. Like two 120 volt outlets.
The thing the LT had that this didn't was the huge digital displays which I am not a huge fan of so this one worked out perfect for me.
As long as no one pulls out in front of me this one should last a good long time.
So it has the old style gauges(40 across the top?
I really like those, but not available on a 3500.

I guess that is what it is. Is is closer to my 17. They did have a 3500HD gasser on the lot, I drove it, but like I said I didn't need all the digital stuff.

Sharp looking truck, hope it works out well for you. The 6.0 was a great, dependable engine, I imagine the 6.6 will be even better!

Thanks! I have 500 miles on it now, so far no complaints. The 6.6 is really nice as compared to the 6.0. It has been out 5 model years now and I have not really heard much bad about it. I hope is it as rock solid at my last 2 6.0s gassers were.

Congrats on the new truck.
I was just out at a friends ranch. They have switched from running Ford/RAM diesels to GM gassers mainly due to availability issues. Right now they have 4 6.6 gassers. Two with the old 6 speed that they don’t really like and two with the 10 speed that they do like.
The new tranny makes a huge difference in drive ability.

The 10 speed in a gas makes a lot sense. What never made any sense was not offering the 10 speed with that when they released the 6.6 gas.
