This truck is comfortable ride and good for towing.
Comfortable drive, automatic starter, heated and adjustable seats are convenient in the winter. Tows 10,000 lbs easy, does not affect the drive while towing. Bed is large enough to load and tow at the same time. No issues with this truck other than regular maintenance.

Best riding vehicle I have ever rode in, highly recommend it to anyone.
I have only had problems with the condenser in the a.C. Unit, other than that it runs like a charm all the time. I definitely couldn't imagine driving something else for a work vehicle. I will be buying a new one when it is time for me to upgrade. The ride is amazing and I would suggest it to anyone.

The best deal I ever found.
I love are truck. We bought it at funky trucks in idaho for 19,000.00 we got a great deal. It is a black chevrolet silverado duramax dually turbo. It has tan leather seats and a boss speakers. It has a tune on it that makes it more powerful. It has a allison transmission. It is a diesel s it gets good miles per gallon. It is the best deal on a vehicle that I have ever found.

It is a large truck and can do what it is intended to do.
It is a great vehicle. The only problem is that emission problems are common causing it to have to be repaired. Other than that it has good power and is comfortable to drive. Not much other issues with this vehicle. It is great for driving off road and hauling heavy loads.

It's amazing and I'd recommend it to anyone! Chevys are a great choice
I love the way I can work on the truck myself, I only by cars I can personally know how they work. Chevys also don't break down as easily as comparable makes

Love my Chevy 3500 hd pickup truck.
The 2012 Chevy 3500 ltz truck is very comfortable and roomy. It rides very smooth for a truck of that nature. Seems to have most features that you could ask for. I have not had any issues with it yet. It has plenty of power to pull my horse trailer and camper.

Black Chevy Silverado 3500 with a black flatbed and black grill guard.
Perfect work truck, mine has a flatbed on it used for rodeo and hauling. Hardy truck, not fragile. Some issues I have had is the door handles on the inside breaking and one issue with the rear brakes (probably due to hauling so often). Gets decent diesel mileage, expected for the truck and weight of bed.

Its large in size sturdy and dependable.
It's a gas hog. Its sturdy and dependable but guzzles gas. I didn't realize when I bought it how much. O keep up on the maintenance but it kills the money pocket book. I like the size of the vehicle but next time I would search for a car with better mpg is that is a major drawback.
