Brian man its nice to tow around the city, but trust me that truck is going to have issues when you get it on the highway. You will sway like a bitch and shit yourself. I would seriously look into either a full size anything. Or even a used diesel can be had for 15k. I daily a escursion diesel at 24 mpg hwy. Driving it around the block is not really going to show you. Get it out on the hwy to test. GL with it bud.
Started looking at Silverado SSs
They're purdy

Brian, if you do get a trailer, I'll be more than happy to take your tire trailer off of your hands.
I'm getting a hitch installed this week so, I'm defeinetly going to be shopping for a small trailer soon.

^ Sweet.... It'll be for sale soon. It's a good one... upgraded HF w/ the taller wheels, diamond plate decking, and locking storage box.

^ Sounds good... once I get a trailer it's yours... it'll probably be in the next few months max.

Brian How you been man. I have a 20x8.5 V-Nose Enclosed car hauler that you can come test out this afternoon if you like. We'll load up my Spyder and have a go. I am sure that this will be more than enough weight to haul around and get a feel for it.
You have to remember that it's not how much weight that your truck can pull, its about how much weight your truck can stop. You can tow a heavy trailer around all day with a light truck, but when the weight that your towing weighs more than the truck that your towing it with, you may have a slight problem of having the trailer push your truck down the road. I tow all my weight around with a Suburban, but sometimes I wish that I'd have a 3500.
I think that you still have my number from when we met, call me. If not send me a PM. I will give you directions.

^ Thanks man... no worries though, I've decided to keep the little truck and mod away.
*line-x
*air spring kit w/ remote controlls and onboard compressor
*trailer brake controller
*load leveling hitch
*auxillary trans cooler
I don't intend to get an enclosed trailer anytime soon so this will be fine... I'll probably tow some shit around this weekend out in suffolk, but I'm busy all week after work w/ gf, gym, and car.
