I traded in my '04 Silverado 1500 4.8L for an '03 2500HD 6.0, and let me tell you, WOO HOO!
Now, if I could convince the Mrs. that we could get a much nicer (bigger) TT!
Looking forward to Spring and getting to put that NY sticker on our map.

Well Frankie, I think my best bet would be to hope she asks how much it will tow (because most Wives are into that stuff), then I'll ease her into the TT conversation. Now THAT'S a plan.

Tom,
Next time you are at an RV show, go into a trailer that you like, or at least as big as you like, and nonchalantly mention that the new truck can handle this size trailer.
Al - congratulations. Joyce and I wonder all the time when did we have time to go to work!

I don't know what you guys are talking about. I don't need persuading to get a new rig. Or are you implying that men are not fiscally responsible so they need the wife to keep a lid on them?
