Smile Biggest improvement in new body.

I am loving this truck more and more every day and I think that GMC has built me one fine vehicle. Having only driven Fords over the last 35 years, I can't compare this new model to the previous Chev models but a few big improvements that are obvious are the built in brake control, excellent,
love the dually fenders all closed in with sheet metal, far superior to hollow wheel wells, and for the people like me that wanted an extended cab, the way the new rear doors open 170 degrees is a great feature. Also this cab feels just as solid as my last 3 Superduty crew cabs.
So you guys that have owned the older style Chevs, what do you think is the biggest improvement or is their something you liked better on your older Chevs.

I guess i am also partial to the classic body style too since i own one. I like the interior a lot on the new body style though.

I agree! ID say the interior is the biggest thing I like. I also like the painted door handles and painted bumper covers.

Now that you mentioned it I heard they made changes to the dually bed (the old was fiberglass/plastic). Next time I see one Ill have to check it out closer!
