Re: 2016 K2500HD work truck

You’ll like it, I had a 2017 regular cab 3500HD, cab and chassis duramax with a utility bed and auto crane for a little bit as my company truck. Loved that truck. Now I’ve got a 2018 double cab 8ft bed 2500hd Sierra. I can tell you it’s a pretty tough truck. I’ve got a utility bed on it and I’ve been well north of the GVW several times (it does have aftermarket air bag helper springs) hauling engines around for my job(I work in oil and gas) I regularly set 5.9 nat gas Cummins, 3304 cats, 330 and 220 waukeshas even a few 350’s in the utility bed with all my tools, oil tanks, compressor, torch setup etc. it’s had chains on all four tires in snow and deep mud both many times. I’ve had it since January of 2018 and it’s got almost 70,000 on it now never been in for anything other than oil changes and tires. I plan to buy this truck when it miles out in another 40,000 or so miles. The similar year fSeries trucks we have don’t seem to stay out of the dealer for very long between taking forever to start for the gas trucks and a lot of def issues for the 6.7 diesels. The 6.0 moves the truck quite well for the weight and as said before has been exceptionally reliable.
