I wouldn't have bought a 1500hd back the either. A 2500 had a 9200 gvw, 3500 a 9900 gvwr. Better options.
Today you go from a 7200 1500, to a greater than 10,000 gvw 25/35 series 8 lug SW truck. That basic 25 series 8600-9200 gvw truck is not sold today! GM should lighten up per say it's 2500 to below a factory 10,000 rating.
Not disCUSSing the Titan. Bad design from the get go.
I've owned 5 or 6 GMs as described in the 8600-9200 relm. I'd buy one tomorrow if I could get one.

Marty just out curiosity why not a 1500HD or 2500 (not a 2500HD).
The 1500HD was the crew cab version of the 2500 same stuff. My Brother in law has a 1999 GMC 2500 with 6.0 and 8600 GVW. It is a solid truck at 240,000 miles.
The 1500HD and 2500 are both 8600 gvw trucks, with the 9.5 inch semi floater American axle. 8 lugger, frame is different from the cab back as compared to a half ton. That type of tuck was available from 1999 to 2007.
My old 02 6.0 2500HD was a 9200 gvw truck.
