I am looking to buy a new truck. Most likely a Chevy 2500HD, but not a diesel. I am buying myself a retirement gift to myself, and I want a new truck. If you have one, how do you like it, and what would you change, if you could go back and change it?
I know all brands have issues at some point in time, and everyone has different opinions about brands, but Chevrolet guys, what say you.


If your mind draws a blank, turn off the sound, because ya can't learn a thing if you're doin all the talkin

If you have business use for it and use it at least 50% of the time for business there are some nice tax benefits on vehicles over 6000 lbs.

I’ve got a 2016 GMC 3/4 ton.
Great truck for pulling a load.
Not very good gas mileage, but that’s to be expected.
Heavy suspension makes it not the smoothest riding empty.
10 years old, 120 some thousand miles.
Few small problems, but overall a good truck.
