2 weeks ago my DW and I came to an agreement to wait until 2010 to trade our 2003 GMC in for a Dually. Our local Chevy dealer had an 07 and an 08 on their lot, and last Friday we stopped to look at one up close, since we have only really seen pictures. Well, about 3 minutes after I told the salesman we were just looking, DW is discussing deals!!!

So, today I finalized the deal for a 08 3500HD 4X4 Dually, Duramax, LTZ with a bunch of good stuff. Am trading in our GMC and a 92 Vette…yeah, I know. But after 15-16 years of ownership have only put on 45K. Frees up lots of room in the garage and over all we are happy with the deal. We will pick up the Chevy Wednesday.

Now all I have to do is sell 5 Eagle wheels, 2 brand new Goodyear 265/75-16E Wrangler Silent Armor, 2 tires about less than ½ worn after 38K+/- miles and 2 that are about 70% worn. And a 16K SuperGlide hitch. Then I’ll have even more room and maybe $’s for fuel!

Question: what are you folks towing, 5th wheel wise/weight wise? Thanks…
