I had been looking for a more powerful truck then my Silverado 1500 z71 to tow my Cheyenne with so I hooked my car trailer to the 1500 and went to southern South Carolina and bought a Chevy 2500 Duramax. Its a used 2008 model and I wanted to find one that was not eat up by the salt we have on our roads in the winter here in Ohio. Pulled the car trailer down with the 1500 and then hooked the trailer to the Duramax and loaded the 1500 on trailer. Its amazing how that rig pulled through the mountains coming home. If I didn't watch the mirrors from time to time I would forget about having anything being towed. I'm retired so I like to make road trips from time to time but I don't think I would want to make a 1600-2000 mile trip. At 73 years old I get too tired after about 1000 miles.
