Is that why you hoped to have the Sierra still so you could tow the Camaro to the Nats? :moon::mrgreen:

I wanna know how the exhaust brake works when loaded, how the onboard brakes control are. That's the point of a 3500.

That's be sweet....

Go down to your local building supply yard and have them load a skid of brick/block/pavers into the bed, shrink wrap the skid real good, ratchet-tie it down, then at the end of the week return the supplies and get your $$$ back. That would at least be something. An empty dually is kinda pointless. I am still jealous, but ya gotta load that bad boy to see what's what, put the tranny and the everything through its paces.

actually all of jsfboa was going to hitch a ride 8-)

i have a trailer and a 2500HD you can tow around with the 3500 lol

qwikz28 10-07-2010 08:22 PM

Actually Al, I'd like to see something like that. It would make a nice photo op of the 3500 towing your Camaro. Dual purpose really, getting your exhaust done, and good photos and review. I would be shocked if a 3500 came lacking a tow hitch.

Maybe even a side-by-side of the differences between towing the loaded trailer with the 3500, and maybe a smaller truck.

BigAls87Z28 10-07-2010 09:15 PM

Thanks man!

Yeah, We shall see.

I need to get at least one more skid of stone for the outside of my house. Should weigh in around 3000 - 3500lbs. It's better than borrowing my dad's 1500 and a friend's utility trailer, if you were interested.

I'd be stunned too. Personally I don't think you can write a fair review of a truck without testing its intended purpose(s).

Sounds good Jon let me know when you need help
