  It changed my mind - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD
  By joe - June 18 - 3:16 pm

  This truck was my first Chevy in almost 15 years. I was a ford guy 100% till I actually put one of these to work. We camp a lot and we tow a Keystone Raptor 3612ds. This is a HUGE toy hauler!! I cant compare it to my ford as it was a 2002. But the Duramax/Alison match is awesome. I tow that trailer up the steepest hills in AZ at 55 MPH and the truck doesnt even break a sweat. My lease is up in January on this truck and I will be getting another. It has held its value very well and I have not had one problem with the build quality. I has gone back to the dealer for one minor recall and service. Thats is no broken anything! I am a Chevy guy now

  Very Happy with my Truck - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD
  By mike - July 29 - 5:56 am

  This is the first non big block gas truck that will actually tow and haul large loads without having a gear too high and a gear too low to tow with. The 6 speed with 4:10 gears works great and doesnt hunt. I can haul my slide in camper with a towed or hook on to the 30ft enclosed 6 place sled trailer and head to the mountains 1200 miles away. It handles remarkably well for its hulk size and the ride quality is excellent. I get 12-13 in the city and 14-16 on the highway which I cant complain. I had a 1500 5.3 which did great but I couldnt do anything with it. I have had absolutely no issues with this truck and love it.

  Definitely Tougher Than Rocks - 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD
  By Ezechiel Florea - January 25 - 9:46 pm

  This truck I bought last year new. I have already 65,000 miles on it. It broke at about 56,000 and now Im getting 18MPG without the trailer on the highway. At first it got 12 and 14 at best with out the trailer. I haul 10,000-13,000 pounds all the time. You can go up and down moutains and it just keeps on moving forward. The Allison Trany and the Duramax makes the truck tougher and more reliable. It never broke down on me/never had a problem. I am always going to be a Chevy fan. The tow command is simple and very good to have. It helps out buy being easier on my truck brakes. Always has power to spare. I would recommend this truck to anyone that needs a tough reliable truck that will never stop.
