Very interesting, indeed. With all that power comes great cost. I would assume the High Country would cost 65,000 or so?
Just give TFL Truck a little time and they will test it on the Ike Gauntlet.

Shit, the new High Country's are MSRP'ing at 75k right now. I bet it'll jump to 80. It's impossible to find a Duramax with cloth seats sitting on a dealer lot right now. They're stocking all the high-margin trucks on the lots right now. It's almost impossible to find a Duramax anything for less than $50k.

Cool video. I hope they have all the bugs out. Way too expensive for me. I will drive my 2006 until it dies.

I just want to go on record saying that the code L5P sucks..doesn't roll off the tongue like LB7, LLY, LMM and LML

 

[RI Chevy Silveradoman]

Lol

 

[THEFERMANATOR]

You left out LGH.

I'll hang with my LBZ ;-)

 

[BoostN]

I've always wonder how the heck they come up with these RPO codes..

 

[RI Chevy Silveradoman]

There is no rhyme or reason.

 

[Will L.]

Initials of the engineer? Maybe this is the 5th thing Larry P. created there?

can't believe I missed that one...

 

[Ed HD]

L stands for engine code. That's the only thing that has any rhyme or reason, at least Duramax wise.
