So we just traded off a 2006 Z71 Silverado Crew Club that we had purchased new and it only had 37,000 miles. We are retired now and needed a nice smaller SUV that would get good gas mileage so traded truck in on 2012 GMC terrain and love the Terrain. Now we need an older truck that we can pull out travel trailer 5 0r 6 times a year to Arkansas and back......only 400+ plus miles round trip. Looking for 3/4 ton as trailer weighs in at 7400lbs dry weight. Want to stay away from diesel due to maintenance cost. I still do all my own oil changes and anything else I can do and have never owned a diesel. Have looked at a few Chevy's with the 6.0L engine and a Ford F350 Super Duty single axle with the V10. I am really learning toward the V10 (it's a 99 model) but a little concerned with the lack of HP. Specs I've found rates at 275HP but good news is the torque is 410 at 2650 RPMs. The 6.0L is 300HP but torque is lower. The truck I traded was rated at 295 HP but I think the torque was only in the 330 range and never pulled the trailer to my satisfaction. Any thoughts on the 6.0 or V10 out there? I only have a limited budget (need to stay under $7500) so this adds to my problem. The F350 I am looking at has 120,000 miles but seems to be well maintained.
