Go for the 15 HD... Much stronger drive line than the F150...
Trade that little blazer in to some dealer, far, far away..... Poor little truck!

if you have to have a half-ton, get the sierra denali truck, its rated at 10k.....
plus you get 4WS....... makes that boat disappear behind you

The 1500HD has 3.73 rear and the 2500 has a 4.10, the diesel dosen't make sence because I wont keep it more than 3 years due to business and I won't tow much.

Just what is the difference between the chevy 1500 and the 1500HD. I have noticed the 1500HD's have the same wheels as my 2500 suburban. How does the 1500HD compare to the 2500? (orHD?)

the 1500HD has Tranny coolers, 6.0 engine heavier springs, I see it as a 2500 with a 3.73 instead of 4.10. I hope R.Addiction chimes in soon and give us the facts.
The Denali has an 8k tow rating all wheel drive no 4ws, that comes from the brochure.
