hicks and their pick up trucks

[Jake Raby]

Does this count as a pick up... It was my daily driver today, and a lot of days. Makes just over 1100# of torque and hauls 5 tons of payload, will flat tow 44,000 pounds. Yes, I need that, never know when living in the country means you need to rip a tree out of the ground, or tear an old barn down.

I also own a GMC Sierra 2500HD with a Duramax Diesel and Allison tranny..

Some of us have property and other tasks than just our jobs, and a pick up truck is just another tool. **Some** Porsche drivers are jerks too, don't stereotype pick up truck drivers unless you are open to having the tables turned.

That said, the pick up drivers with 4X4s that have big rims and low profile mud grips are the problem children. A low profile offered tire makes no sense to me, those guys are usually the posers of the crowd :-)

How do you like the Sierra and why did you choose it over other comparable models of other marks

It has 200K miles and all I've done to it is a water pump. I towed race railers with it for years and it has an overload of porcelain tile in the bed right now.

Mine is a 2003 and I like it better than the newer ones. It has an AFE exhaust and intake that I further modified, and an Edge Juiced programmer and has averaged 26 MPG over its 200K miles. I have hit over 30 MPG with it before, and even 20-23 while towing a 30' trailer. Mine is a 2WD which helps with MPG, I have two 6x6s and 4 other 4x4s, so I didn't need a 4x4 PU truck too.

Its used Joe Gibbs Driven DP40 for years, as the truck was part of the development of that oil. It has a new test oil being ran in it now.

On the dyno it made 505 RWHP and 680# of torque. I like it.

My favorite was a truck I saw the other day

stupid big lift, triple shocks, big wheels and off road tires
then I looked underneath the front of the truck..
no front diff, it was a 4x2! and on the back was a 4x4 label
POSER!!!
