So my dealer sent me a letter offering an appraisal/trade in special with the incentives running. I went there today and got a price to trade my 2015 CC SRW 2500hd Silverado LTZ in on a 2017 CC SRW 3500HD Silverado Special Edition with same pkg as I have on my LTZ currently which is fully loaded. $7000 difference taxes in to trade, took a new one for a ride, really like the steering assist at low speeds, like the exhaust brake aggression, otherwise seems about the same. So left dealer and came home to ponder, pulled out cargo & towing capacity spec's for my 2015 vs the new 2017 towing spec;s for the 3500hd. Shocked is what I was, the new 3500hd has 100lbs more towing capacity at 17,200 for a 5th wheel vs the 2015 2500hd's 17,100lbs. The cargo capacity is 3927 on the 2017 3500hd and on the 2015 2500hd it is right around 2800lbs. So went and looked at 2016 Chev HD spec's and low and behold they were less than both the 2015 & 2017........ huh guess that adds a new wrinkle to the whole weight thing..... specially when nothing really changed....
