my 2500hd has the biggest motor to ever come from the factory in a stock light duty truck. it sports the vortec 8100 which is a 496ci big block. and it has the allison 1000 seires transmission which everyone knows is bullet proof, and it will pull WHATEVER you put behind it

We've has this truck for almost 7 years. She's been a great ride. Always plenty of room, love to fold down the back seats to pile in the stuff for camping. A few problems with the glo-plugs, but they have always been replaced under warranty. Don't put a high tool box in it though, makes it tough to see out the back window. Low profile would be much better.

This truck has the big 8.1L motor with an Allison 5-speed transmission. It will pull just about anything but don't get too far from the gas pump. Pretty basic but built like a truck, fairly sharp turning radius for as long as it is. I have put about 21,000 lbs. of seed on it and the truck does not miss a beat. The Allison in Tow mode really helps with braking.

drove it from missouri to california, no problems. great truck. would def get another one. the interior is spacious and has plenty of room for you and the boys, or you and the family, whatever youre looking for, you can get it in this truck!

This truck was big burly and had a ton of muscle. It would pull anything you wanted it too barring you had enough money to pay for the fuel. It was rugged and took any beating. But it was not with out fail. There was always issues of things on the truck that would fail, fuel pump was one of those parts. As well as the transmission and a few sensors. These were all at the cost of the truck running until it hit 250K miles. This is an example of the old saying " they just don't build em like they used too" It may have had its issues but it had lasted through a lot of miles. I dont feel that the newer silverados would even come close in comparison.
