Re: Newer trucks vs. Older trucks

I have a 71 C-30 that I've had for 22 years. I've towed about every thing you can imagine, loaded it until the tires were rubbing the flat bed. I recently bought a 2002 Duramax,CC, 4x4. As much as I love my ol C-30, there is no comparison on which truck is the better tow vehicle. the Duramax/Allisson wins hands down. The last three years I've make a trip to south Ga. for a horse ride. With a 16 ft gooseneck stock trailer, 4 horses, 20 bales of hay, saddles, and all other supplies for 4 people, I can set the cruise on 75 mph and not tell the trailer is even back there. I don't, but I could. I'd be screaming in 2nd gear going over Jelico Mt. in the ol C-30.
