I HATE half tons. cant put a lump of coal in the back without it sagging, and they look weak. 3/4 ton has so many advantages... my wifes suburban has the 5.3 its not a bad motor. not great mileage but its a nice rig... thats plenty half ton for me

I put a 1000lb can am atv 1000 in the back of my 1/2 ton 2 wheel drive and maybe its not as big as the lump of coal you've hauled around it barley sags and can hardly tell its in there. The LS series engines are the some of the best engines to date and fuel efficient as they come.
But hey, each there own
 
A half ton can't haul it's own shadow! Driving one is what I imagine what slow death feels like! I can throw my little tool box in a half ton and it won't get over even a small pass over 30MPH, the Duramax 1 ton won't drop below the speed limit and it's heavier than a 1/2 ton and 3/4 put together!

the one ton Duramax weighs less than you think. A Dodge four wheel drive one ton dualie standard shift weighs a touch over 8,000lb, and that over thousand more than a similar equipped Chevy. I know this for a fact because we weighed them at work. You have to know this to set up a dyno.

The one ton Duramax I'm speaking of has a heavy duty crane body and crane, loaded with tools in every nook and cranny, it's 12,000 empty so I'm guessing I'm rolling close to 15,000 ish.
 
I put a down Payment on the crew cab short box GMC 2500HD... So I guess the search is over. Its over in Bozeman so when the roads clear up im gonna head over and pick it up,
