Its is a Chevrolet Duramax truck. Diesel engine has a lot of torque.
Well built heavy duty truck that drives like a car. Has Duramax Diesel so it will last a long time.

I named my truck 'Trigger', because it's big, strong, and smart
I bought this vehicle to pull a 40' fifth wheel, and we began full time RVing. The truck has done magnificently. It pulls without a strain, it gets much better than expected fuel economy, and it's comfortable to travel in. I would highly recommend this truck to anyone looking to pull a big fifth wheel, and to not worry about your tow vehicle.

Large capacity hauling truck.
While this is a large vehicle, it is not that hard to learn how to drive. It rides smoothly and is fully reliable as a vehicle. The features are simple and not full of items you do not need. It is perfect for hauling large loads and the tow mirrors make it great to park.

It has great longevity. And daily drive good.
It is a wonderful work truck. Pulls great and daily drives great as well. Am not pleased with the emissions it came with but we did away with them.

It's bigger than its seems especially when it comes to backing the vehicle up.
I like the dependability. But the ac and the transmission need work.

Chevy 3500 Silverado diesel with 8 foot bed.
Heavy duty and able to pull our 36 foot travel trailer. Has been totally reliable. Ride is rougher than some trucks but not enough to be a problem. Plenty of space in cab area when traveling. Definitely like the running boards and eight foot bed. We can use bed to transport our Harley.

Chevrolet Silverado 3500. Nice big truck.
The vehicle has heating and cooling seats which is great. I like the room and space. It can break down easy and is expensive to fix. Works good in winter snow because it is heavy and has 4 wheel drive. Diesel is kind of tough to find shops to do oil changes near my house.

One of the most important things about my car people should know is that it is very clean and organized.
I love my vehicle, it is beautiful. I love the detailing, and the colors. It looks elegant but rough and built.

Great transmission and motor never had a problem pulling trailers.
Very reliable Chevy truck, suspension is not the best in the world wish they would do an air suspension on the truck. Love the towing power of the 6.0 diesel motor and the Allison transmission is one of the best transmissions that I believe has ever been built.
