What to buy?
I am not WANTING TO BUY, just wondering WHAT to buy!We are planing on buying a used pick up truck in the spring. My wife and I both love 99-07 chevys. I would like to get some imput from you guys before we buy. Here is our must have requirements: Room for 5 sometimes 6 people (Comfortably enought to spend 2-3 hours in. (crew or extended?), able to pull our 26' travel trailer with a max towing weight of 7k lbs. (1/2 or 3/4?) Towing MPG preferably above 10. Cruising normal above 17? (Gas or Diesel?) I would love to buy a 2500Hd Duramax. I love those trucks. A guy at work has one and its killer! I have also been known to throw a car trailer on the back and haul cars and trucks all over Washington and British Columbia, but I have not done that recently.
So here are my questions for you oppinions, 1) Gas or diesel? a)What one is most fuel efficent for the purchase price? b)Does a gas engine have enough torque and HP to tow? 2)Crew cab or Extended? 3)1/2ton or 3/4? Just throwing this out there, thanks for looking! Dennis Oh and the wife said it had to be 4x4! Dang it
