Well the DW wants a new toy hauler and in order to keep her happy I will need to upgrade the goat. We have decided on a new or CPO Chevy 3500 Diesel,drw. What are pros and cons. For the time being this will be a daily driver.

If you work in a city it can be a bit of a pain to find a parking spot.

Other than that they are wonderful TV’s

Park a little further out and take up a couple of parking spots if needed.

True story...friend of mine did that with his truck...took up two parking spots. Someone key him.

We got our new 2017 Silvardo 3500HD Duramax longbed crewcab DRW in June. It’s our daily driver and we love it.

No cons, great engine and tranny. Park a little further out and take up a couple of parking spots if needed. Also, watch for narrow drive throughs.

X2 with a surmountable “con”. “Learn” to back into your parking spaces. It might also be nice to have backup sensors or a camera on that new truck to help with the tighter spots.

Think about your daily drives and being 15 inches plus wider....drive up banking, fast food, parking at work, church, downtown....your own driveway. DRWs are fine, just be ready.
