And dont forget to add Morroco brown leather as a option on the trucks this year!

You are exactly right. The Z-71 off road package is nice but these trucks seriously lack ground clearance. Not only does it offer better off road capability, but it just looks better. GM's stubborness to build these things so close to the ground is why I am in a Nissan Titan right now instead of another Sierra. The Titan has 11 inches of ground clearance with the best approach and departure angles in it's class. Not to mention a rear locker, although having owned the G-80 before I believe GM is superior in that category. Stock tire size is 285/70/R17.
This all terrain truck sounds like something I would buy. I really would like to come back to GMC. However, it has to offer real world capability not just cosmetic upgrades. Hey GM, GROUND CLEARANCE is what makes a truck good off road not decals! I would love to buy another GM but not until the 4 wheel drives sit higher than a Toyota Rav-4!!!!!!!
