(UPDATE) Has anyone put an order in for a 2022 2500 or 3500 Duramax?

I drove a standard bed for years and was not looking forward to a long bed when I moved to a DRW in '19 when we went from a TT to a fiver.  It turns out I like everything about the long bed better except the turning radius sucks.   How much that one things sucks depends largely on how you use the truck.  But I won't go back to a standard bed after getting used to the turning radius and seeing how useful that 8' bed is day in and day out.

With the crappy turning radius of a long bed. Do yourself a favor and learn to back into parking spots. That solves the problem with tight parking lots. Unless you have a dually 😂😂

I made my daughter learn how to drive in my Ram 3500 long bed crew cab. Including, how to back into parking spots. She thinks me for that all the time 😂😂

Love me a long bed,

bought my first one so the dirt bikes would fit with tailgate up, and haven’t looked back.

personally I like the look of the long bed when you beef up the stance with a level/lift and 35+tires.

we are a fam of 4 +dog and full traveling circus , just last week on our Tahoe trip the bed was packed full of gear under a bakflip for a week long trip. 

One of my favorite options on the 22 long bed F350 is the stock 48gal tank ,

I was not aware there was another way to park.

With the 8 foot bed I can drop the big Honda geny in front of the fifth-wheel hitch and never have to move it the whole trip and still have room for some firewood in the bed along with other crap.  Can't do that with a 6.5" bed.

Is that the worlds heaviest portable generator?

It is about 275 pounds.  It rolls easy and two can lift it in the truck or roll it up a ramp, but it is easier to just drop it with the track loader when its just me.

Just giving you grief. I do the same, and use my bobcat for everything I can.

Finally got it lifted after Fabtech approving the 2022 model year lifts. Turned out nice!  Just turned 1200 miles. Loving it so far!

Sharp truck! How are the toyo Mt's in the snow? Can't beat the aggressive look but took the safe route and got the new at3s.

Thank you!  They work great, I always sipe them which makes them even better in the snow. I have ran the Toyo MT on all my trucks for the last 20 years.  Ive never put any other tire on my trucks.  My wife runs the AT3s on her Escalade, they are also very good in the snow.

You guys with the new DMaxes subject to the stop sale/recall?  Major bummer to have that going on when supply is already so limited.

I heard from my dealer about the Duramaxs hydro locking.  They have seen one 22 hydro lock and I’ve only got 2000 miles on mine its been fine so far.

Awesome bro!!!  
 

On a side note got a recall on my truck for the motor possibly hydro locking. GM wants it back to replace the motor. I was like the truck runs fine. Then GM tells me it could take months due to a parts shortages, but they still want my truck. I was like no, when/if it hydrolocks they can have it back.
