What you end up going with for a pickup? I know you mentioned a few that you where considering

Still "shopping" buck...last week drove the 2024 Chevy 2500 Silverado gasser/LTZ trim...freakin nice! Tomorrow going to Ford drive the F250 7.3 gasser/XLT trim...Ram 2500 not an option don't like any of the Ram trims!

Thank you!

Summit makes a stabilizer plate to help when moving faster.

New cranking rods/reels, and that might be it.

Are you going with the 25ft rods again?

Let us know what you think of the 7.3 gasser.

I've tried the summit pole in open water @Shockwave, if your stationary or moving slow it'll work, but if you want to bounce around it's likely not going to hold up very well.

Summit makes a stabilizer plate now that fixes the problem. Summit pole set up is still much cheaper than the other options.

I have the 7.3 gasser and I think it’s awesome. The 10 speed transmission is nice too.

Honk - what year is yours? How's gas mpg when not pulling anything?

It’s a 2023. Gas mileage is better than my 6.2 was. Overall avg 14.2mpg. Hiway depends on wind but without bucking wind 16-17+ hwy

JMF - drove the 2024 F250 yesterday with the 7.3 gas...here are my quick thoughts:
heavy/sluggish feel compared to the Chevy
interior/creature comforts comparable
Chevy comes with more "standard" features such as:
factory/Chevy bed liner
garage/home remote program
soft leather wrap/heated steering wheel
plus many more Chevy 3/4 ton trucks in the market
comparable trim lines Chevy LT to Ford XLT - the Chevy averages $4K less
just my initial thoughts after driving/researching both

Finfan the Chevy 2500-3500 are the exact same with the exception of over load springs on the rear axil that never touch unless it’s a big payload. So you have more options when you look
