[QUOTE="BikerHT, post: 1927828, member: 24483"] I'll try to be brief. I have a 2003 Chevy 1-ton 4x4 w/Duramax, 242,000 miles. I had some motor work done several years ago (changed a head), had to take it back to the shop for warranty work & they had it for 21 months. (I was driving a company truck, working 80-100 hrs/wk and didn't have time to fool with it.) Got it back, still lacks power it used to have & leaks a little bit of oil which it never did! I work in the industrial (oil & gas) electrical field - inspector, construction superintendent, operations manager, etc... and may be taking a new job in Indiana for a while and need to haul my 5th wheel RV. It is a little mansion on wheels, over 42' long, toy-hauler (gotta take my Harley!) and I'm gonna need a truck to haul it and get to/from the jobsite. I don't care whether it's Chevy, Ford or Dodge - but wondering if there is any "simple" comparison out there to check towing capacities, hp, etc between the 3? Maybe a chart showing side-by-side or something similar? I've been driving Chevy since '99 but not too particular right now. I just want to get something capable and dependable. Everything I've found so far leans toward Chevy diesel as the best in towing and the wife gives me grief over Chevy - due to problems with my '03. I have another truck, too - a 2011 Chevy 1/2-ton, 4x4 Z-71, ext cab. I want to trade both my current trucks in and get me something pretty quick. I may need to be on the shores of Lake Michigan by the end of the month. Any OSA members in the auto business? [/QUOTE]
