They love those things LOL This one is a custom but honestly for the price has more than enough options to keep me happy. I don’t need all the extra fluff for a work truck. It’s still nicer than a fully loaded truck from 10 years ago imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever need to pull a load a further distance I still have my Dmax I have a 19 2500 Chevy work van. 40k on the clicker. Has a 6 banger with a 8 speed. I wasn’t happy when the boss ordered it. It has plenty of snot fully loaded. Averages 20 mpg and I do 75 mph on the highway with little effort. I wouldn’t put a big trailer behind it,but the company doesn’t own any big trailers. If I was personally buying a work truck,this is the set up I would buy. I’ve always had 6.0 in work trucks. This 6 is perfect if you don’t pull trailers. Go take one for a drive.
