Curious to ask those in the forum who have bought recent model, higher-mileage Duramax vehicles. I am exploring purchasing a year-old Denali Ultimate (with Super Cruise) that has just over 60k miles; service records show religious maintenance, oil changes, fuel filter changes, no accidents, etc. My plan is to not to use as a daily driver, but rather for occasional longer road trips and towing a camper.

Any used vehicle comes with risk, of course, so I am not expecting it to be as new. For those who have bought with higher mileage Duramax of this generation, what types of issues should I potentially plan for? Any Duramax-specific maintenance items to be aware of with higher-mileage engines based on your experience? Other things I should consider?
