The biggest hill climb is that 8 mile incline approaching the Virginia

need to do some shifting.

You need a diesel Silverado. Don't need no steenking downshifting!

Of course, I'm pulling only about 11500 lbs. But, every year my wife seems to add
about 500lbs worth of 'stuff'. So next year I'll probably have an even dozen
thousand.

Is that basically the same as the GMC diesel? I have a neighbor with
a GMC diesel dually and he can pull a car carrier with about 4
vehicles on it.

Yup, same engine probably - Duramax 6.6L 400hp. The engine doesn't seem to notice
whether or not the trailer is there.
