no i wouldnt have a 4wd.

2wd....nada has it valued at 17 average dealer retail, which is what they were originally asking.

Mine is a 2wd. I expected more towing from what everyone else says on different sites, unless they all are padding there numbers.

Who knows, maybe my trailer brakes never release.

Side note: the 1500HD is not a true "HD", it is build on the original 3/4 ton chassis. Just has bigger brakes and axle(s) than the std 1500 to give it a higher payload/tow rating

Don't forget the 6.0. Regular 1500 this was not an Option and the Option of the 4:10 gears

Good point Jim. This truck fill a gap for people who need more grunt than a 1500 1/2ton but dont want to drop the cash for a 2500HD

Is that a 4WD? 10MPG towing isn't that bad. That's about on par with a diesel. We have a crew cab 06 Duramax and it is identical in mileage all the way around with what you posted. It is a 4WD though.

not my diesel, I get 15mpg loaded with 6k on the trailer. Towing my boat it's 16mpg. I get 18 unloaded. This is pure stock no chips,programmers etc.

But with a Diesel your paying about .30 more a gallon and average about 5k premium in cost.

Well, I bought it. 33000 miles clean clean. I drove 125 miles on the first quarter tank. Tank is 32 gallon I think? That's about on par with my 5.7 tahoe.

Hope to pull the boat somewhere this weekend. We'll see. I'll try and snap some pics. I need some new tires for the trailer though. I know the ones on it are at their weight limit of 1760*2
