How many tow miles can one used truck handle?
I am new to the forums so this may have been answered many times over, my apologies. My husband and I are looking at used (~ yr 2005+, under 150k miles) Chevy Silverado 2500 w/Duramax engine/Alliso...

Best way to tell if it's been used to tow is 1) no fifth wheel or gooseneck in the bed, and no holes indicating one used to be there and 2) original paint still on the inside of the receiver hitch.
Also, a plow mount or evidence of one is an instant disqualification for me. Nothing beats on a drive train like plowing snow, and you can do a TON of plowing and still have a relatively low mileage truck.
This is good info, AndyW. Thank you!
We're not necessarily targeting a 2005 truck, just anything 2005 till now. The 2015 Silverado 2500 Crew Cab 4x4s w/Duramax engine are base price $50,000, which is a pretty terrifying number. We haven't seen a ton of these trucks (new or used) around our area (Lawrence, KS), so just trying to get as much info as possible via the web.
