reetings.
I've had my Delmonico Red 1500 Sport since 2/2017 and have loved it. Far nicer inside than Chevy or Ford (and I have family that works at each of those!)
We had a Chevy Avalanche, but it couldn't handle towing our travel trailer very well for a planned Grand Canyon trip. The 1500 works well for us, though sometimes I wish I had a 2500 with the CTD.
Oh well. Having had the Avalanche, I love the Ramboxes as we are always carrying hiking poles, bicycle pumps, dog leashes and stuff that I would rather keep out of the cab.
As far as mods, I've only done the tailgate assist as my 17 has most of the features I wanted. Added the OEM trailer brake controller but don't have the tow mirrors (my wife wanted the matching sport color mirrors).
Other than that, plans are to line the bed (Linex) simply to save the body.
I've been checking out the mods under $100, but would like to do the 2018+ UConnect setup, but that isn't happening anytime soon! LOL
It's odd though, I did mods on my Jeep for offroading and I modded the Avalanche as well. I just haven't felt the need on this one - yet. Maybe LED tailgate bar or additional lighting for the rear when backing up or needing to encourage people behind me to turn off highbeams... Maybe a tonneau cover...
But perhaps the biggest thing I'd like to do is upgrade lighting in front (fogs and headlamps). I've been spoiled by German headlights. Looking at several right now, but would love input from ya while I did more in the DIY mods sections.
Here's my truck as it sits now.
