My '13 model has about 86,000 on the clock. I love the truck but don't want to drive it out of warranty. Not a fan of the 17's so I'm gonna pull the trigger on a '16. Going from Kodiak Brown to Bronze Fire with a few more options than the '13.
I know there is an increase in HP and torque on the newer model. Is it very noticeable?

Never driven a 2011-2014 but do love the power I can feel in my 2015 and I thought the old 73. was a stump puller. I think you will like the exhaust brake if you tow.

I went from a 09 to a 12 then to a 15 and each time there was a very noticeable difference. I tow a 15K 5th wheel and love how the truck handles the trailer in both acceleration and more importantly deceleration.

I agree on the 17's not sure if I like them, I keep a 1100lb steel box in the back of my truck and I'm very concerned about the bed. and damn they are expensive.

I went from a 99 to an 02 to an 05 to an 09 to a 13 to a 16. The 16 is by far most powerful of the bunch. Coworker has a 2017 which runs even better..but i run a tuner…so I WIN...

Picked up the truck Friday and drove it from Daytona back to Atlanta on Saturday. Feels pretty close to the 13 except it accelerates a lot better from 50-80. I can tell its a little quicker off the line once it gets rolling too. Love it. Love the color. Got the rainbows to cooperate and I couldn't resist a trip to the beach. :grin2:
