My new tow rig!

But a 4x4 mega cab last week. Really like it. Not sure why they call it a 1500 when it has every spec the same as the 2500 hemi. Fits the family great!

Nice truck.
Chevy makes a 1500HD which has all 3/4 ton running gear and 1/2 ton suspension, that may be true with yours also.

Thanks,

I was aware of the chevy 1500hd, my brother-in-law has one and brother a chevy 2500. Crazy thing on the mega cabs is they even have the 2500 suspension. Only thing I can find thats differant is the OEM tires and maybe the gears.

Agreed, but for this less-ballin WB, a direct-injected twin-turbo gas v6 will do...

Ernie, that truck came out of my plant. My day job is at the Kentucky Truck Plant working in quality control. The 6.7 is a bad ride!

Being in Alabama I look out of place without it lifted and sporting a rebel flag..

Dont think I will lift it ever but next tires will be a tad larger.


Super badass truck Ernie!

^ No wonder no one is racing. You guys are spending all your money on your tow rigs for your trailer queens.
