Well, new-to-me. It's a 2004 with 44k miles, and more options than I've ever had in any vehicle I've owned. It basically has everything BUT leather heated seats. I even get XM Radio! (We already had a subscription to Sirius for my last truck, so we're switching. It will be nice to have it built into the factory radio.) When they gave me the keys, they also gave me a pretty cool hat with the dealership's logo. Never had a pink hat before, it's too girly. LOL The hitch and brake box is getting installed next week, and then it's off to PA to pick up the trailer! (We decided to go with the Bee.)
And hubby wonders why I smile all the time these days.....................

Congratulations on your new truck! Sure is pretty!
We bought our first GMC this winter....We have never had anything but a Ford but GMC just seemed the best choice this time. Couldn't beat the warranty. Our trailer is 42 ft with LQ ....a big, heavy son of a gun! This GMC way outhauls the Ford we had equipped the same. We're pretty excited about it as we were thinking we were going to have to go to a 450 or 550....but the 1 ton GMC is gittin it done.
I also happen to have a Bee trailer which also happens to be for sale.

Looks like youre almost ready.........B&W turnover and a Prodigy?
ABSOLUTELY! Got them both off EBay, brand new, for $381 with shipping included. The local RV dealer wanted almost $450 just for the dang hitch!!!!!! They'll be here by Tuesday at the latest.

Hey Congrats on the truck! I just traded my old 1 ton Chevy for a new one of about the same color...it is my favorite color. I had to go with a diesel for the first time and I like it so far except when I'm at the pump (but the gas one wasn't that much better). Had my B&W hitch installed week before last on Wed and hit an endurance ride that was a 3 hour haul on Sat with it. Both performed nicely. I got the hitch installed for $475 which I thought was fairly reasonable. I have not had this hitch previously and I really like it. I wish we had put this one in the last truck.
Many happy trails with your new rig!
