When you're cruising at 75 mph,,,,passing everyone,,, uphill,,, with camper in tow,,,, and you look down and notice the rpm's are at 1800,,,, you say to yourself "Self, buying a Duramax dually was a good decision".

I think a lot of it depends upon what colour of truck you own.

I am almost certain that I took it out of my garage and brought it to the dealership.:)
If you were at home, you took it to the dealer, not brought.
If you were at the dealership, and your truck got there by someone else "bringing" it to you, then they "brought" it to you.
I want to make sure I understand this. So...if I make an appointment, it would be proper for them to ask if I can bring it in on, say, Tuesday. So now do I bring it in or take it in?
If I am understanding this correctly, Joe Service Guy at the dealership would say I brought the truck in for its appointment but I would say no, I took my my truck in for its appointment and we would both be right.

This is an RV forum. Not a grammar forum. My expectations here are not for perfect grammar, but knowledge pertaining to RVs.... If I cared about grammar perfection, I would be hanging out at a forum for that.
It's the RV.net tow vehicle forums... you have to argue just to argue. I say kudos to whomever it was to find something new to argue about. Its gonna be a long winter of bickering over brands and weight classes... at least an argument over grammar is a slight change;)

I feel the same way about my new truck. It was a good decision. As for you guys jumping on the OP about his speed well just stay in the right lane and you will be ok.
If you had bought a Cummins you could be doing it at 1600 RPM. Just sayin'.
Bwahaha,, nice!!!
And yes,, the OP knew there would be a strong, united front, who never exceed 55 chime in on the 75 mph. Just the nature of forums. :B Now that we can check that off the list,,, the point was "wow, what an effortlessly smooth tow it was.
Sure got that right. I believe and I so "feel" safer towing with my Duramax than in the old days when I was towing with my half ton F-150 gasser. Both up and down mountain passes. So thankful for my Diesel engine and it's comprehension brake.
