Comments
Favorite feature:	Plenty of Power, enough to pull a fork lift out of the mud.
Least favorite feature:	The partialally reclineing front seats.
Advice to buyer:	This is the most powerful and comfortable towing / traveling truck available, buy this one.
Detailed review:	POWER!! and lots of it. My wife and I have several horses and we tow a 37 foot trailer through the steep hills of New England with no problem. Our Silverado 3500 HD is equiped with the Vortec 8.1 engine and it hardly notices the trailer when it is empty and can maintain comfortable highway speeds even when fully loaded up to maximum gross weight. The Allison transmission is extremelly smooth both durring upshifts and downshifts and the transmission brakeing helps to reduce brake wear and fade. The transmission temp. guage is also very helpful to keep you off the side of the road. There are only a few complaints, 1. the front seats only recline to about 45 degrees, 2.no lighted vanity mirrors and, 3.no power outside towing mirrors. Other than those minor problems this is the ultimate truck for hauling.
