I love it so far, it is like a go-kart compared to my 2005 2500hd crew. I dont always need a HD truck, so I can save the big one for the bigger jobs.

I like that and I have come to be an ex-municipal truck likin' kinda guy. Started with a '91 Diesel 3/4t Suburban from WSSC (Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission). They handle all the crap that comes out of the White House

Either way, they are usually stepside beds.

It handled it like a champ, sold it to a buddy of ours 2 years ago for I think 6k. If you can find one with a 4.8 it makes plenty of power for most uses.

I was hoping this one is a 4.8. I kinda got off track on this thing, but want to roll by there still and see about it. A friend had a 2wd shortbed with a 4.8 and he got great mileage, and I believe you on being plenty enough power for that size.
I've always been an 8-lugger guy, but now liking the idea of a lighter truck. I don't always need to haul a lot of tools and this one has that bed cover
