Re: help me decide- c10 vs c20
You guys are talking about the weight difference, don't most 3/4 ton have higher gear ratios too to help w/ towing. (I saw the gear ratio chart on pg 1) I would think that would also be a big factor on mpg. I understand the C-20 did/do have upgraded/larger brakes as well.
