I drive a 2013 Silverado 2500HD. It's for work. I want one for home. Only a 1500. I like the towing capacity but only need maybe 9-10K. I want a smoother ride and better fuel economy. I have the 6 litre and it guzzles gas like no getout. Looking at the Sierra or Silverado as well as the Ram 1500. The Ram has a 5.7 litre but has the 4/8 cylinder option. It also comes in a 6 cylinder diesel that is made by Fiat and I know nothing about it. I would like a diesel. I have a Sierra 3500 at work also that has the Duramax and Allison option and it is the best. Almost no problems in 450K kms except when I sucked in some water or contaminated fuel.
The Ram is less expensive (score one). It is supposed to be more comfortable (score two). Less towing capacity (score minus one). Higher to step into (score minus two). I am getting to the age where that counts. Fuel economy? Don't know.
Any and all input would be appreciated. Especially from someone that has owned both recently as the old ones don't count. Trucks that is!
