Good looking truck!

Just for the heck of it, if you lay under the truck on the drivers side rear axle tube where the shock mount connects there will be a small white sticker. 2x3" or so ..

Your rear gear will be on this sticker. My bet is a 3.21 but there were some 3.55s laying around you could have gotten lucky it just depends on when the truck was built. This is more likely in a 2014 but it would be fun to check.

The 3.21 is still fantastic, you'll be pushing 23-24mpg avg on the freeway.

According the the window sticker is has a 3.21 rear and based on how it feels at highway speeds, I would agree. Cool to know about the sticker underneath....next time I wash it I was check it out for ***** and gigs.... Truck was built in December of 2014. So far so good!

I had to kinda get into mine this morning coming in to work, a slow Semi truck going up a mtn and traffic on the left .. It acted like it wanted to cross up even at 50 or so mph. The roads were a little wet too though but just saying, man these trucks are monsters. Be careful with it. My truck now would absolutely suck the paint off my old Silverado.

Beautiful truck!

Ex GM owner here myself, just made the switch in December, and haven't looked back once!

The 3.21 with the 8 speed is much better then the 6 speed. Wait till you feel it downshifting to slow you down. I wouldn't of bought this truck without the 8 speed. The 3.21 won't hurt you unless you are going to tow over 8k. And then you really should have a 2500. Have fun trying to dodge everybody that wants to run into it. That's what the idiots around here try to do to me.
