My wifes expedition is a much softer seat and feels way better than my GMC ...until we go for all day drives. The GM seats, as you point out, are harder but I find them more comfortable on longer drives. I don't know if it's a support thing or what but that's what ive noticed.How are the seats? Am I full of it when I criticize GM on seat comfort?
And wow that's some data tracking. I don't think I could ever keep track that much.
If I don't go 3/4 ton my next truck will be the 3.0 GMC. That mileage/range is fantastic.I thought I would give folks a summary of the performance of my 2023 GMC SIERRA SLT with the LZ0 3 liter diesel after one year of ownership.
