Unheard bought a new truck for his birthday

That's like the Bentley of trucks in the Denali version

The wife bought it for me,

I bought this.
When it comes to outstanding fuel efficiency that doesn’t compromise on capability, the new Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel I-6 engine for the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 is a seriously smart powertrain.

This latest engine builds off a deep understanding of the diesel powertrain space, earning the legendary Duramax badge by the high level of attention paid to maximizing its durability and efficiency that other diesel engines in the GMC family are known for.

Offering up to an EPA estimated 30 MPG highway, the Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel not only gives you the most efficient Sierra 1500 ever, but is an ideal powertrain for off-road adventurers with a powerful 460 lb-ft of torque and best-in-class 277 diesel horsepower.†(1)

It also marks the first-ever inline-six turbo-diesel for GMC’s full-size light-duty truck, an engine design that helps enable a smoother driving experience, and will be available fall of 2019 on the Sierra SLE, Elevation, SLT, AT4 and Denali models.

It has been paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, so this engine is not only powerful and efficient, but responsive and smooth while at work or play.View attachment 3217223

I looked at the diesel option on the new Sierra but didn't want to noisy rattle a diesel makes. How obnoxiously loud is this engine? I definitely like the fuel mileage aspect.

2021 F-250 FX4 w/ the 7.3L Godzilla gas engine

Traded in my F-150 that was about to go back into the shop for the 3rd time under warranty for turbo related issues. Here's a hint, a 2.7L Twin Turbo belongs in a Honda Civic, not a pickup truck.

Walked out after trade with this one for $49k (had right @ $6k in equity on the 150)

Gas prices be damned. Right now, 90/10 city/highway driving, I'm @ 11mpg. This engine likes gas!

Meet, Gojira.

Great deal and beautiful truck.

5Star offers a warranty if you want the piece of mind (the tunes are the same whether you get the warranty or not). I'm on a F150 forum and 5Star is known to be the most reliable tuners for "safe power" without breaking stuff. You never hear about people breaking their trucks. I tuned my 2019 F150 with the 5.0 after about 8000 miles and man does it drive good. So much better than stock tuning. It's drivable but is a BEAST when you get in it. You also get free revisions if you want changes to the tune, it is free or if you buy aftermarket performance part from them. It's a pretty hard to beat package for the $. Their customer service is excellent as well. I realize not everyone is willing to do it to their DD but my truck drives the way I want it and its pretty sweet.

Another +1 for 5Star. They do great safe tunes. I've had them do a few for me over the years. I haven't had one done for my 5.0 F150 yet but they made my old 3.5 Ecoboost a racetruck. How do you like the throttle response and power delivery on yours now after the tune? Ballpark hp/torque increase on it?

You can even hardly heard it run. My wife was dead set against a diesel for the reason you stated but she heard this when we started it and she said it don’t even sound like a diesel. She loves driving it too.

That's what I want. Can't find any that are nice AND affordable. Almost cost as much as a used 6.7.
