I retired once, started the next career while I was still burning my vacation time from the first career. Now, I'm 11 years into the second career and looking into retirement again!

Quiet honestly, I think any of the big 3 manufactures build a good truck now. So all you need to do is get one that is rated for the load you will pull, that is comfortable for you and you get a good deal.

I still have to figure out the posting pictures part... We chose the Chevy because of the Duramax reputation & the new changes for the 2015 model for towing. Thanks for your congrats! We are still getting acquainted with the truck and all of the bells & whistles. We have never owned a diesel before, nor towed a 5th (just TT).

Congratulations. Ours tows very well and is rather nice solo. A little big but I'm getting used to it after driving it for a month now.

In case this information is needed I will tell you guys that after retiring in 1999 it really is awesome and feel lucky that we could at the age of 58.

Holy cow.... am I the only one who's going to be working past June? ๐Ÿ™‚ You guys are making me jealous.

Nice truck OP. I just bought a Ram but honestly these days it's a coin toss. There really isn't a bad choice.
