I've never owned a "newer" Chevy...I do have a few friends that own them,and a good mechanic friend....the only bad thing they say about them,is the trannys are junk...unless you get one with the Allison tranny.

thats my problem as well... Newest car I own (that I bought) is a 1972 chevy.    from there I go back to 1967 land cruisers etc in the driveway..

My only newish car is a 1997 buick Lasabre... because it was free and had 60,000 on it..  (and gets 30mpg)

I drive an 04 F-150 with 132k....and had to have minor tranny work done on that as well at 105k....it really does'nt matter what you get when you buy used...it's all a gamble.Knock on wood....my F-150 has been a REALLY good truck to me.

It might turn out to be a very reliable truck.I can say from experience...that Chevy has a far better motor design and alot more power than the Ford.

I had a 08 2500HD LTZ with a 6.0, key phase there is had.
Loved the trk hated the motor. That being said I own a enclosed trailer sales company here in Maine.
I have a trailer on it 85 % of the time. I also haul a 24ft plus the v, with 2 legend cars in it, 8000 ish lbs 15k mi a year. The motor had no torque, till you turned it 3500 plus (watch fuel tank empty) great power at rev none down low. It was great by itself, but a 1/2 ton would do better.
I replaced it with a 2010 2500 HD LTZ with a duramax, it gets WAY beter mileage WAY.
Gas trk 14-17 by itself, 7.5-8.5 towing.
duramax 17-21 by itself 12.5-15 towing.
That's my real world experience.

We've rebuilt 1 6.0 due to negligence, the motor rocks awesome design & seals. With the 6.0 it should be the 4l80e which is a 4 speed turbo 400. Make sure its not the 4l65e as thats just a 700r4 which isnt really a truck trans if you ask me.  The duramax / allison is better if you do alot of towing but that 6.0 should be a nice setup
