2000 1/2 or 3/4 ton trucks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am looking at a few trucks right now and trying to decide which one would be a better buy for me.
1st is a 2000 GMC 1500 4wd, excab
2nd is a 2000 Chevy 2500HD 2wd excab
both gassers
I don't really need the 4wd but it's nice to have when the winter weather sets in.
I only tow our camper but will be upsizing the camper in the future so I'll want a heavier truck to pull it with. The 2500 with the 6 lt has a tow cap of 10500 lb. Should be more than enough grunt to haul my stuff.
Not sure if I'd want to drive the HD full time, stiffer ride and not so great mpg.
Would anyone care to chime in with your likes/dislikes of the 2500 series trucks? Diesel or gas.
