They are factory 22" wheels and whatever tires come OEM....cant remember the exacts. I did not add a level. I do love that truck....awesome power with the 6.2L and very respectable gas mileage - 22 hwy, 17-18 combined, 15-16 straight city driving. About 12 towing the boat!

2011 GMC 1500 with 06 AR210...Although, it seems the 2015 Tahoe in the background pulls it better!

Traded the (money pit) Land Rover for this 2016 Silverado crew. It's a wet day in Ohio, so the picture isn't that great - but the truck is! lol

Congrats, you will love the Silverado!! I do not see a DuraMax Badge on the hood, so I am guessing gas engine?

I went for the gas engine. I always wanted the Duramax ... but I just don't need that much power. You and your wife had fraternal twin trucks, right? I was lusting over those the other day!

Yep, we are loving them, very glad we bought them, hopefully they will last us 15 to 20 years - at least that's the long term plan.

Apparently, yes. I saw this at Costco and decided it was "too much". My local dealer took the display truck and I ended up buying it. Honestly, the wheels are a little much for my taste (22"), but I love the rest of it.

New tow rig and DD for me. I can't praise this Ram enough. I have a few upgrades planned but its a beast towing the AR240. I was worried about the Suburban due to the transmission temps getting in the high 230-240 range towing the boat for only an hour. Its not the Rockies around here in SC but the inclines keep the Burb in the higher RPM range just to stay in the 50 mph range. I drove Ford, Chevy and Dodge and for the price, this was the best equipped. I will be adding a back up camera, wheels and tires and a few other toys to make her mine.

Congrats, there is nothing better than towing with a diesel.
