Currently driving a 2012 Silverado 3500HD with the 6.6 Duramax diesel and Allison transmission for hauling heavy loads. I'm happy, and I felt the same way driving my earlier Silverado 1500 models. They beat the **** out of most of the Ford products we've owned for comfort, quality, and reliability. I personally don't care what anyone drives, just like I don't care what they shoot for firearms. I understand brand loyalty. After all, most of us here share a preference for a particular brand of handgun. Shall we discuss pre-lock vs. IL for a while? It's just about as productive, don't you think?
