Re: What type of truck do you use?
I have an 06 Silverado 3500 LT extended cab, long box 4x4 with the duromax and Allison six speed. The 8 foot box got me the 35 gallon fuel tank. With the single rear wheels it has a towing capacity of a little over 12,000 pounds. I put a class V hitch on so that I would be legal. I use the truck to pull a 12,000 pound GVW dump trailer. The trailer weighs 3000 and I can carry a 9000 pound load. With the long wheelbase the ride is great and you don't even know the trailer is behind you. It has the 373 rear ends and get 16 to 23 mpg.
I had a Dodge one ton dump with the diesel and automatic trans that got 10 to 12 miles per gallon. It had a capacity of 2300 pounds. That's why I decided to go to the truck trailer combination. I tried out an 06 Dodge 1 ton and then the Chevrolet 1 ton. It was no contest. The Silverado had it over the Dodge in ride and power. Jim

Re: What type of truck do you use?
Chuck nice trucks dont lose much value...as you know most are beat to crap then for sale... nice trucks dont come up for sale often in the NW and when they do are above book its just life, grab that wallet of yours and go buy the truck in portland lay out green stuff on the hood he will haggle some I bet. who cares if it sits, keep it out of the weather and it will hold it value just fine and you will be a happy guy with a nice rig.
