OP... You have a darn good truck. All you need is a few mods. My 03 HO 6spd 4.10 s, with towing mods, handled my 15k fiver very easily and 20k was still very doable. It was a LOT better workhorse then my 12. You'll be taking a big step backwards if you get rid of it. Craig
I said the same thing to my wife. After breaking down twice on the freeway (once with 12k in tow), she insisted it's time to get a new truck. Who am I to argue with THAT?
I ended up staying with a diesel. I qualify for the GM employee discount so I got a good deal on a 2020 Silverado 3500 Duramax. The difference is astounding. I compare it to when I moved from gas to my first diesel truck. It's quieter, pulls harder, more controlled on downhills and gets at least as good of mileage. I credit a lot of that to the 10 speed trans which always seems to find the right gear.
