WOW, Wish I would have....

...purchased the right truck the first time. First run today with new to us GMC 3500 and WOW. The difference between the GMC and F350 is night and day. Truck pulled our fiver over same hills that our F350 struggled on like they were not even there. The B&W Companion is so smooth compared to the Reese 16k slider, no clunking on hitch wind up. Wife says she can now relax while we travel as it so smooth now and quiet. Man, should have listened when bought the first truck and got the GMC I looked at back the. Live and learn.

    I'll take mine with extra butter.

    What's the reason for the big difference in trucks?

    What engine did that 2006 F350 have? I test drove all three brands of HD diesels before buying the truck we have now. The GM and the Dodge trucks both sounded and drove like tanks. The Ford was the quiet one. All the new trucks have roughly the same HP and torque. But there is no doubt that the newest models are a lot more powerful than the older ones.
