No NHT means no tow mirrors from the factory.

Not according to the online configurator.

Well that conflicts with the online configurator which I’ve built many times. Doesn’t matter either way , easy retrofit if needed. Believe I’m going to hold out for a 2019 anyway??

2019's are nice, but most of the kinks have been worked out of the K2's at this point. My 2014 was the first model of a new year, worst truck I have ever owned bar none. Just something to keep in mind before you pull the trigger on a 2019. I will never buy the first MY of anything again based on my experience with this truck. Don't listen to me though as my opinion will probably change when my dealer brings in a '19 L86 All Terrain dbl cab lol.

I agree. I’d like to see it in person before making any decisions

Question 1: NHT owners, Where did you find your NHT? Did you have to order it or was it on a lot? I've been looking for new and used however they are hard to find.

Question 2. How much stiffer is the ride than the standard suspension? It's not too rough for a daily driver?

Rides the same - I did order mine - well worth the wait ........... Only way color combo and all was to be had - that coco dune interior shows dirt too easily - found them but they always had the coco dune.......

When I was looking for a max tow I also wanted a crew cab standard bed configuration. In February my dealer found 3 in the country. All of them had different options than what I wanted so I ended up ordering. No compromise and I get exactly what I want. It is scheduled to be delivered at the dealer next week. I cant wait!

Depends on of you want a Chevy or GMC... If Ok with GMC, Laura GMC in Illinois has a lot of NHT crew cab trucks on the lot, most of any dealership I have seen. I tried to find one locally, but couldn't.....I wanted a Chevy but there weren't any in a 300 mile radius of me...The NHT package is pretty rare to find in either brand...But Lauras has a good stock of them
