[QUOTE="Camperguy, post: 1160262, member: 23683"] I absolutly love the 2017 but the dealer markup is criminal. I remember when the GNX and the ZR1's came out, they pulled the same B.S. Aluminium body is great for loosing weight and hopefully will slow down corrosion on the salt belt. The Brits have been doing it for years. My biggest concerns. I would never buy a first year anything because they always have teething problems. The 450hp out of a 3.5 twin turbo aluminium engine. I think your not going to see many with over 150k miles, if its used for anything but cruising. I may be wrong, just my belief. Thats around 129hp per liter. Or roughly 800hp on a twin turbo 6.2L. I know the 3.5L has dohc and twin injectors to fix the single direct injected valve build up problems. I also hate the V6 sound not as much as the inline 6 though. Time will tell about longevity. Im not a hater guys its just why I went with a low mileage 2013, Supercab. No doubt the 17s are awesome looking,lighter and faster in stock form but I would feel alot more comfortable with a 600hp 6.2LV8 than a 600hp 3.5L V6 as a daily driver and cross country crusier.
