Re: 2000 1/2 or 3/4 ton trucks

You won't be happy towing with the 1500, it'll slowly work the truck to death. The 2500HD 6.0 truck will do the towing duties far better then the 5.3 truck ever will. I wound up buying a 99 3500 454 dually cause we bought a 30' camper that weighs in around 8k ready to camp. The yukon pulled it but it didn't like it and severely lacked power. The 1500 also has a weaker trans that won't hold up under heavy towing. I'd go for the 2500.
