I could not afford new, and could not afford any good shape older diesels, so I ended up getting a 1996 GMC K2500 extra cab, long box 4x4 with a Vortec 454/7.4 litre.
Got the dealer down to 5200CDN it had 219.000Km when I got it almost three years ago, and so far I have used it to pull a 1999 22 foot fifth wheel and now it has one trip pulling a 2004 24.5 foot Fifth wheel, so far it has been good, but still not sure how much I should push it on hills.
Always feel funny when I have it reving or going into passing gear on hills.
