Nice setup. I took a look at a few Brinkley’s a couple of weeks ago. Very nice rigs!

11,350 on the sticker.

I looked at the Fords and possibly would have ordered one with a 7.3 gas but they’re so tall it was borderline whether it would fit in my garage. And I actually found one on the lot and measured it. It was too close for comfort. I’m set now though. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Guy’s, Thank you very much for all of the suggestions. I got impatient and a GMC dealer very close to me received a used 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 SLT with a Duramax Diesel with 8K miles that I couldn’t pass up. It was a specs/numbers/bird in the hand situation pure and simple. Payload of 3213lbs and...

Yes, shortbed or what they now call standard bed. I want it to be able to fit in the garage

Terrain in IL here is relatively flat but we want to travel all over without being restricted. We’re now both retired so we may go in extended trips. I don’t know what is considered often. I suspect we’ll get a 5’ver that’s why I question the tongue weight/payload of a 2500 diesel. Many fifth...

Yes, only 2500’s. The truck is also my daily driver and I really don’t want to bounce around in a 3500 when not towing.

We’ve got the camping/travel bug. Some might be familiar with my story of me not being happy with how my 1500 Longhorn tows our 8K travel trailer, so I ordered a 6.4 2500 on order since 3/28. For those that come back and say that they tow something of that size comfortably with a 1500, I’m not...

That sheet was given to me (and highlighted) by the dealer when I ordered the truck so I hope that it’s accurate! One of the first things that I’m going to do when it comes in is compare that sheet to the door jamb sticker! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is the payload and towing specs on my 2500 ordered back on March (that I might see someday). I ordered 4.10’s. It should pul my 8K trailer without any problems but I’m sure once I get the truck we’ll be looking at 5’rs.

Yep, I have. If that’s the case I suppose I would park uphill until I remedied the problem.

OK then. I’m not sure what length the truck is but 5” out of level (and water is the perfect level) in the length of the bed translates to the truck body being quite a bit out of level in relation to the frame in the total length of the truck, in my mind anyway. I can only go by my current 1500...

So your tailgate fits that tight that your bed will hold 5” of water?

Well it’s been 8 weeks today since I ordered my Pearl White 2500 4x4 Longhorn. My order is still sitting at D1. I’m not that surprised in todays market but I’m sure getting antsy for some progress. I would really like to have the truck before summer is done.
