As a Chevy owner, I've been very happy with my last two Silverados. If I hadn't ridden in Al's new Longhorn edition, I'd probably be looking at only Chevy/GMC. So, 2012 or 2013, any advantage? Real life Chevy and Dodge mileage - what are your experiences? How about the Dodge tranny? I see a lot of Ram trucks, what do I need to know? Thanks.
Ron,
I like my Dodge 2012 with the 4:10 rear end. It pulls the hills well and the OEM exhaust brake and transmission works well too. I bought a Cummins wrapped in a Dodge.
I have 11.5K miles on mine so far and 8K are pulling the Monty. I have a total average of 10.4 mpg and saw 9.81 pulling from WV to NY with some good rolling hills. I think it is starting to get broke in.
