Here is my impression. I've been on this site for about 2 years and love it. Before today I've NEVER driven a Dmax EVER. the last diesel I drove was a 93 ford that was WORN out LOL. I currently have an 05 1/2 ton Z71 Burb.
I got to drive a 2500 CC/SB
1. the power was not overwhelming, but it only had 6.1 miles on the odomiter.
2. i DID NOT honk on it too much, I could tell there was more power there than I was using
3. The throtle felt very (I'm not too sure how to describe it) disconected and required ALOT of effort to mash down.
4. This thing drove like a TANK LOL !!!! The front felt very heavy, but not in a bad way mind you.
5. I loved the manual shifting with the allison.
6. it was quiet, but you still knew it was a diesel. It sounded like a "refined diesel.
I know it's not going to drive and feel the same as my burb, I did not expect that. BUT I loved it, and I'm deffinatly gonna get the wife up in it with me (without the sales man (I do not want to beat on the truck, but I feel more comfortable without Mr. sales man in it) and see how we (she) likes it.
I just need to get them to let me drive the CC/LB with tow mirrors, cause that's almost Exactly what I'm looking for. I agree with some of the people here I've got sticker shock, but for me I'll end up driving this truck into the ground, so I'm willing to get EXACTLY what I want LOL If I've gotta drive it for the next 10-15 years, I'll pop for the extras.
