I traded in my 2017 1500 with 17k miles today for a 2012 2500HD with 96k miles. I feel like a winner, I have a truck again. No more wifi/computer/gizmos, and I can actually tow a loaded trailer with some safety factor without squatting. The 1500 hp/torque/trailer rating was great on paper but didn’t really get the job done. I added helper springs and leveling kit but both made noises I wasn’t ok with. Had them checked out and was told I installed everything fine. No more half tons for me. Anyway I’m happy with my purchase and wanted to share.
