2014 Silverado 3.42 or 3.73
Hopefully some of you have a bit of experience with the newest GM trucks? As a bit of background. I have towed a considerable amount in the last 15 years, with roughly 1/2 dozen TTs and almost as many...

Wow, The dealer was actually a bit over 300 miles away. Fourteen hours, 600 miles and doing the deal in the middle of all that, loooong day. Not to mention the dealer was in Buffalo, NY. which is colder than a witch's ....... elbow. After a fifteen year run of nothing but various GM trucks for my business and personal use, all I can say is that I'm impressed. The wife made the same comment several times, "It's hard to believe that this thing is a pick-up" Nicest ride, and features of anything I ever owned, or driven, that could haul a load of manure.
As for the new TT, we found a screaming deal on a leftover 30' Jayco Eagle, which is a pretty heavy lump to drag. It's 6820 empty, with an 8800lb gvw. That swayed me toward hunting down the Max. tow option, since it was getting a bit too close for me, with the 3.42 set-up. If your first thought was, "this guy needed a 3/4 ton" you may be right, but it wasn't a viable option. the wife is pretty disabled, and simply couldn't get UP and into any of the 4x4 2500s from any of the big three.
Thanks for listening, and if you're anywhere north of the equator this winter, try to stay warm :)
