In March of 2012, in Leesburg, FL, we traded in our 2011 Toyota Highlander V6 All Wheel Drive and our 2008 Ford F250 Supercab XLT 4X4 Short Bed 6.4L Diesel for a 2012 Chevrolet 3500HD LTZ Crew Cab 4X4 Long Bed 6.6L Diesel.
Now with 11,500 miles on the new Chevy, had the first oil change at 7,000 miles, and filled the DEF for first time then. We are towing a 2011 Carriage Cameo 35SB3 5th wheel that has a GVWR of 15,000lbs.
Most of our miles have been towing miles as we are full time rvers, for 16 months now.
The truck has been great, lots of room for Jodie, MoneyPenny, Rugby and I.
We fold up the back seat and the pups get the floorspace of the whole backseat.
We have been from Florida to Canada, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island, New Brunswick, now crossing the US.
The truck pulls our 5th wheel with ease, in Canada, lots of rain and I was a bit worried when leaving Cape Breton Island, thought we might get stuck, BUT no problems, I didn’t even have to use 4 wheel drive.
It keeps good speed up and down grades, the exhaust brake is great, really makes slowing even on hills.
