I've owned a 2wd Chevy 1500 since 2/2/0--- 5.3 gas motor
I've towed a 22'x8'x7 trailer to vegas and pack a couple of times.
I've ran it up the grapevine to button willow and back around 5 times.
Once on the way back a Friend was pulling less with a ford diesel,
things got out of hand and we raced up the hill, I beat him!
we topped out over 80mph towing up the hill. That melted the paint off of the differential cover.
the only problem has been the tranny blew @55k miles {it was a couple of days after the hill climb}
oh and the emergency brake release cable failed.
the truck has 140,000 miles and it's first real service other than oil was at 100,000
yes in 2-3 years I'll replace it with another chevy
