Wow, almost impressed $50,000 2015 3500, and my 01 can pull the same load!
Rated GCVWR just north of 20,000#, my 01 is 20,000#.
I would take the '15 Chevy over your '01 anyday. :W
Well not for $50 k and get pulled down to 35 pulling 12,000#, I pull 11,000 with 3.55's and have never seen south of 50 on a grade.
360 HP and 360 lb. ft. of torque, I am also south of 300 hp, but north of the 360 lb. ft. of torque.
Just remember the GCVW is 20,500#, the trailer weighs 11,920, and they have some weight in the bed of the truck to get it to 20,360#. I tow between 19,000 and 19,500, and can hold speed, sorry not going to spend $50,000 for a TV that won't do the job that my 14 year old TV does already!
Sorry, thought gas engines had improved more than that in the last 15 years.
