Congratulations!

That would be a neat truck to buy, but I'm not sure my pocketbook  
stretches that far.  :)  I'm looking at a 2007 3/4 ton Silverado,  
Regular Cab, Long box, 6.6L w/ Allison trannie, but no dually, no  
4x4...  sigh.

Most I would haul with it would be a 2-horse bumper-pull w/ dressing  
room, and a small camper.   Now - if I find a dually, 4x4 that I can  
afford, I'll snap it up, but so far, no luck.

And you are right - it's scary.  My current truck is all paid for, but  
it's old enough to vote, and my trailer is a year older.
