I suspect that sometimes the flip side of that is true as well. A fella thinks he needs ( wants ? ) a new 2500, but his dear wife says, you just bought that new 1500 last year or two years ago. Make it work. So he goes to the forum, poses the question, and says, oh gee dear, look at this, 15 experts replied, 13 said I need a 2500. The yays have it.
She relents and says fine, go down to the chevy store and trade it in.
All of which is fine and dandy if you got the money to write the check for it. Hey it helps keep the economy rolling.
The OP said in his original post -
"This year we are upgrading our camper, and I just acquired a used truck as well.
I want to see if anyone out there can think of anything that I might be missing out on. I want to keep my family as safe as I can.
My camper is 7250 dry, 8600 gvwr, with a tongue of 900 lbs."All of which suggests he
already owns both this truck and this trailer, which is a heck of a time to say -
"I want to see if anyone out there can think of anything that I might be missing out on." If / when he realizes the solution is to replace his newly purchased 1/2 ton with a 3/4 ton OR replace the trailer with another that his 1/2 ton
can safely handle then that's unfortunately the cost of not sufficiently researching
before making these purchases. :R One thing is certain though - he's not the first and certainly won't be the last. :(
