Do it!
That thing is badass!
Even though it's a Chevy! 😜

That's a nice truck. With that, you can pull a toy hauler/ camper (I'm thinking Fifth wheel) and save money on hotel bills, restaurants and never miss out of what happens at night at the flying meets.

It's just not you Jim! But get one anyway
You may have to cut back the trees going up the mountain!

Jim,

Can you get it with a long bed? You do not want an extended cab. Plus, can you get a a cap for it?

It's a 4 door crew cab with a full size 8' bed......it just looks smaller because it's so friken huge!

Class 4 and 5 trucks have very low axle ratios meant for hauling heavy equipment such as bulldozers and backhoes. That translates into high fuel costs, which means you will need to invest in an oil well. Class 3 duallies aren’t much better economy-wise. A class 2 (3/4 ton) like Len’s is a better deal, fuel-wise, and still can haul a 10,000 lb trailer with ease. Even my class 1 (1/2 ton) is rated for a 7,000 lb trailer, which is way more than the weight of the 12-foot x 6 foot ATC trailer (1,200 lbs.) I have on order. But I have to admit, that Chevy looks baaad!

Hey Jim....go in style!

How about dual rear axels!
