What Owners Say
"I pull a trailer with a bobcat loader and accessories and the truck has the power to get the job done. I also have a bumper pull 27' travel trailer and pulling it at highway speeds in no problem with plenty of power for hills and passing. It is a truck so the ride is hard when empty and not bad when loaded."
JIM P., WY (2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD)"Other than a blown turbo at around 100K miles, this truck has been trouble free. It accelerates fairly well by itself, and when towing, it has the power to get me 'up the hill' with my 5th wheel trailer. Very reliable and sturdy. Am considering a new on in the not too distant future."
