this is a follow up from the dodge diesel thread from last week.

not a very good pick of new chev but its cold out and didnt want to start and move or mess around out [still 8* i'm a wuss


and my old pick up- kind of feel like i betrayed a best friend by trading it off.

Re: old truck gone.

Can't tell.

Did you get the diesel?

yes. its pretty loaded up. dosnt have a sun roof or the factory navigation but pretty much every thing else.

bigest thing for me was the ride quality. much better than the ford or dodge of same style i tried. road even better when i got it home and dropped tire psi to 50 lb from 72 lb.

gary my first choice would have been a gmc. no reason but have always had gmc's mostly. the chevy dealer was way more aggressive in trying to court us, had a truck with every thing jil and i wanted and made the process pretty pain less. also gave best deal on my old truck

Re: old truck gone.

I have to agree on the ride of the Chevy too.Where i used to work had all 3 brands of 3500 series trucks.The Chevy by far had the best ride and most comfortable seats to me.
I drove them coast to coast pulling enclosed 2 car hauler trailers and loved the trips in the Chevy trucks.
That series in tow mode would sure pull a hill while passing everything!

Re: old truck gone.

If I was buying a new truck, that is the exact one I would buy as well.
