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.

2004 Duramax Diesel with the Allison trans, about 70k miles. Very happy. Changed the shocks to better Bilsteins at about 10k (stock ones suck) and got new Michelins about 10K ago. When we towed from CA to Ohio for the Nats we just put the truck in cruise. What a pleasure to drive! Now going to Colorado where I may put the 4x4 to use.
