Hey guys new to the forum, I came here to get some more input. I currently drive a 2004 Silverado 1500 I have had it for 10 years and I am starting to think about upgrading in 6 months or so looking in the 2015 range I have 2 younger kids so a crew cab is necessary. My dilemma comes in, should I get another 1500 or step up to the 2500 I have a camper that I haul 5-6 times a year that weighs 6,500 pounds. I also have a 19 foot fiberglass fishing boat that I haul quite often during the summer probably 30+ times. I would say that I am someone that actually uses his truck like a truck. Any input would be appreciated thanks!!!!!
