I love my Silverado, I beat on it and it keeps asking for more. Carrying 1 ton no problem, bouncing down horrible roads at 40, not a big deal.
Plus when it breaks its a Chevy, I can fix it with a hammer and some tape. Unlike my friends G500 which needs $2500 in repairs...
Chevy makes one heck of a truck, I need something with a diesel next for some good towing, maybe put some meaty tires on it.

Kind of thinking about the big block though, I want something that sounds more meaty.
