Hi guys

I also believe that the type of truck he buys will play a factor. i.e. Reg Cab, Ext Cab, Crew Cab, Short bed, Long bed, 2WD or 4WD.

If he wants the highest towing capacity, 16200lbs, then a 2500HD Reg Cab 2WD Long bed is the way to go. If he wants the least 15400lbs, then a 3500 Crew Cab 4WD is it.

I know it sounds weird that the larger truck tows less, but the weigh of the truck is factored in as well. With the 3500 CC 4WD weighing the most, it tows the least.

At least that is according to the Silverado brochure.

my 2 cents anyway
