I thought I bought more truck than I needed when I bought my 2500.. then ended up with this Road Warrior which is pushing the threshold of this truck... shoulda got a dually... LOL
I don't think any of the Road Warriors a light enough for any 2500/250 truck.
I guess it is up to each of us to either buy to fit our needs and what we already have.
Or if you go big, then having to spend more to get a bigger truck should just be part of the plan.
As I said in my most recent post . . . I chose to buy a new trailer to fit my new truck (8 months old) instead of trading it in for something bigger and taking a huge hit on it.
No air bag or lift kits . . . just plain old stock Chevy 2500HD gasser with the 4.10 rear end.
