2015 Chevy 2500HD
I just ordered a new 2015 2500HD LTZ red, tan leather, crew cab, long bed, tow mirrors, cab lights, 6.0L, bed liner, body colored splashguards, console, navigation, and a few other things. Should be here in about 40 days.
I am curious, does anyone else have one? I am a member to GM-Trucks.com, but honestly as nice as their forum is, it just falls short of the CF.
If you have one, post some pictures and what do you hate or really like about your truck? GMC's are welcome too.

I bought a 2015 2500HD 6.0 LTZ Z71 with all options in November. I love it. Only issue I have is vibrations/buzzes on less than perfectly smooth roads in the dash/console area (but what do I expect, it's a domestic). I also bought a pre-August build, which I didn't know was a thing and I wish I had gotten a post August build but I am not sure why.
I've done Fuel wheels/Nitto tires, power fold out running boards, added a sub, leveled the front, HID headlights, E85 tune, maybe a thing or two more......would like to do headers, cam, and supercharger or twin turbo but it's not a priority vs the C7.

Sweet trucks. My work has like 8 2015 HD's. damn thing get beat on all day and do not break. I don't need a 3/4 ton but everything is stronger on em than a 1/2 ton. You guys think its worth the extra $ to jump into a 3/4 gasser? They make the 1/2 tons like cars now, all cheap parts. And I heard the 1/2 ton are built in Mexico but 3/4 and above are built in USA. I drive a 2005 gmc 4500 mini dump at work and the Damn thing is indestructible. I love it!

I think crew cabs are made in mx and the regular and extended cabs are USA but I could be wrong there....
The only thing I wish my 3/4 ton had is direct injection, like the 6.2 but more torque focused. otherwise, I love the truck!

the interior noises aren't too bad but they are annoying with radio off but I don't think it is indicative of a model issue.
mpg depends on where you live and your speed limits. we have 70 and 75 mph limits so my mpg is 12-13 but i can get 14 if I slow down. mixed is 11.5 on 93 and 8 on E85

I also have read that the navigation isn't that great, but am hoping that my truck will come with an updated navigation unit. Does yours have it and any thoughts on it?

Yeah that's about what others have said on the truck forums. Since my 2015 is later build, hopefully it will be "problem free."

I rented a 2015 2500 last week to haul 9300lbs 6 hours. It had the 6.6 diesel, but worked great. Very comfy too.
I could see myself getting used to a truck like that

I scratch my head as to why GM still uses the 6.0L as the gasser in the 2500/3500 trucks that puts out 360hp/380tq while the 6.2L (available in the 1500) puts out 420hp/460tq???

6.0 is a work truck motor with an iron block (stonger bottom end, towing)
6.2 is a sport truck (and sports car) motor with aluminum block
