Diesel World Truck Of The Month

If you find yourself near the magazine rack at your local grocery store, you’ll spot Brian Bush’s 2022 matte forest metallic GMC 2500 HD AT4 on the cover of this month’s Diesel World. The Banks-equipped ¾-ton Duramax features a Banks Derringer tuner with iDash SuperGauge, Pedal Monster, Ram-Air Intake, 5-inch Monster Exhaust, and a Ram-Air Differential Cover along with a bevy of off-road components. Brian explains that the truck has a more “relatable” OEM look than his past truck builds but the “everyman’s disguise” hides what lurks underneath.

With only eight weeks to put the whole thing together (six actually… see the article) after securing a prime “Hero Spot” at the SEMA Show, Brian chose a GMC to stand out among the crowd. With the help of his trusted network of customizers, Brian’s build came to life and made it to the show—and fully functional.
