Moving on up the line,
I saw a 1 ton dually for sale today 4x4, 159k miles GMC Sierra
So I thought I would take a drive. I can see why people say they are a stiff ride and the handing/stopping is not as quick - but I felt I would get used to it like anything else.
It's frustrating that the EPA doesn't even create MPG numbers on these vehicles. Just because I'm going to be hogging gas, doesn't mean I don't want to know what it is at all!
Perhaps to atone for eating all that gas I could buy an electric car for town use.
Anyway, thank you for all of your feedback. Has anyone done mpg comparisons between their 250/350s?
Also I noticed that cars.com lists curb weights and GVWR on their site so I can at least get some idea of the payload of different vehicles, though I'm guessing that they are listing curb weight stripped of options.
Keep in mind you are buying a TRUCK to carry a load not a car. If you feel the handling and braking are sub par, pass on that truck! The handling and braking of 3/4 and one ton should exceed that of any 1/2 ton!
