I love chevy trucks.. the 2008 / 2009 2500HD LTZ is beyond a doubt one of the best chevy has made.. if not the best.. it handles really well for a big truck, even taking this truck off roading it handles perfectly.. the only thing that should be changed.. is the appearance, its really nice but I think GM can make it look a little more beefy

This is a great vehicle for towing larger 5th wheel trailers and RV's. The fuel economy, while not great, is not too bad when towing considering the weights that I am pulling with it. The economy factor when not towing is poor, even with the installed chiip. Overall I am happy with the vehicle, although the ride is very rough due to the heavier suspension package installed for towing.

The buld quality is evident in the way it rides. GM really put the effort in this truck. The only complain I have is the fuel economy, and the fact that when cruising, although it saves gas, it will pop into the next gear. When you slowly accelerate (unless you push the pedal down far enough for the rpms to jump high enough) it will stay in the same gear and slowly accelerate. Thats why my next step is a tune or some sort of bolt ons. Towning with it is a breeze, Ive towed boats, and campers. Never a problem. Maintenance is pretty simple for the most part as long as your mechanically inclined. Parking can be a problem. Its got the full 4 doors and 8' bed. But I wouldnt trade it for the world.

Very nice truck on the interior I'll give them that. But as far as engine it sucked it was a diesel and it put bad fumes in the cab of the truck so bad that it would cause headaches and tearing up your eyes. I lemon law the truck back to Chevy.

Dislike the poor Independent front axle (GAWR) Also dislike the emissions system that is required to be put on all 2007.5 Diesels. Would prefer floor shifter 4WD rather than turn dial. Like the Allison 1000 Series 6 Speed Automatic. Could have a CUMMINS!!
