Most truck for the buck, especially if you tow.

My GMC is a 2500HD 2WD long bed ext cab, WT with appearance package, Fog Lights, Chrome grille and wheels; every towing package available, 6ltr v8 w/6 spd, and GT4 3:73 w/Eaton Posi. Let?s get the bad out of the way. The front fascia does not fit properly and has a slight gap in center of bumper, same with bed, fit is not the same at the cab from left to right; no buddy notices but me. The interior is the Work Truck has great fit as does the custom IP on the SLE/T. But the grain lets you know you are in a WT. I love this truck. I tow a 7k pound box trailer regularly and get 9-11 mpg in the western PA hills and better on the highway with an open bed and w/o a trailer aero cover. No one makes a fiberglass tonnaeu cover for the long box. The interior bucket seats hug my hips and secure my butt. The controls are easy to understand, feel and find, allowing me to maintain my view of the road. My kids fit on the back bench seat and love the view of the road. On the open road, to ATL, my Sierra got almost 20 mpg, w/open bed. The 6 spd takes a little getting use to, but decending hills, it is an absolute must. Torque; I simply out tow any comparable Dodge and that?s the closest truck to a GMC, I checked Ford, Dodge, and Toyota before I made my decision. And Dodge & Ford were making great deals. At 5k miles, no problems. The creature comforts; great CD w/iPod link, an information center, for additional mechanical updates, long driving comfortable seats and a great feeling steering wheel. I would only own a truck if it could make money. This GMC helps keep money in my pocket. Professional Grade A!
