We used to own this 98 454 K3500 Dually but sold it as the mileage was getting a bit high and replaced it with this 2015 HD2500. The old truck got 9/15 for mileage while the new is 11.9/21 so a nice move in the right direction. Otherwise they are about identical in pulling power.

That's about where I'm at with "Max". 22.5 mph on the flat at highway speeds, 12.5 pulling the trailer (7500 lbs with the car in it).

But the power! Man! I have to be careful if the roads are wet because it will roll through first gear and start smoking the tires in second.

That's with a Bullydog programmer on the second setting. Lets out a little wisp of grey smoke (I call it "Rolling Charcoal") and I'm gone...…
