I have always been a GM guy. 60 years old and only owned one car in my lifetime that was not GM. It was a $500 red VW that got me through college. Towing was first a renter pup with my Chevy S-10 PU. First pup we owned towed with a Chevy mini van. First camper trailer with a 1500 suburban. Next was a 3500 gas duly. Next 3500 diesel duly. Third 3500 diesel duly. All Silverados. Won't even consider anything else but a 3500 duly diesel for towing. 8 foot bed for carrying plywood and dry wall, and crew cab for lots of passenger space. I want the truck I can tow just about anything or haul just about anthing.
Owned Chevy trucks from 1975 though 2010....last 3 were D/A in LTZ trim, last two were dually's...(drove Chevy's since I got my drivers license in 66'....
So was a big move when I went with the Dodge/Ram in 2010...and the 13' was even a better truck..prepared to tow what I ever I need and this is the truck that can do it...Again, at 14,000# GVWR, and 37,500# GCWR...it'll tow and carry all I'll ever need to do it with and with the Cummins, a medium duty diesel engine strapped to the Aisin, a medium duty tranny...yeah, it'll tow or haul all I'll ever need to tow and haul with it:)
