Looks like we'll be trying to find a used late model (2006- on) truck in order to be able to take my '02 Z28 off the road and make it a dedicated track car. The truck would need to be able to tow the car and an open trailer safely at highway speeds. Would prefer a club or crew cab for the extra space an longer wheelbase. Right now I'm thinking gas as opposed to diesel since the truck will get limited use other than for track events and few camping trips annually. It will also be available to my two grown sons as needed. Want the space of an 8' bed so I can carry plywood, etc., when needed. Durarbility and reliability are major requirement. Capable of doing most maintenance and repairs on my own on a gas powered vehicle, but I'd like to have something that was practical to use and maintain. Looking for recommendations on what to buy/avoid, average real world mpg figures, etc.. Thanks in advance for your input.

I have one of those for sale in the for sale forum... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I found the 6 liter/4L80e to work great for towing. I always want more power in everything I drive, but I could maintain the speed limit (or better if I wanted) up 8% grades with an open or an enclosed trailer. I love the truck, but I'm having a strange urge to pay off everything and start saving cash these days, maybe I'm getting old (which is why I'm still trying to sell the car too).
