    Traded off the 2015 5.3 for a 2018 6.2. Crazy good rebates and they gave me a stupid good trade in allowance. If you can't tell I'm partial to white. So say hello to Betty. IMG_20181118_144241.jpg IMG_20181118_144223.jpg IMG_20181118_144136.jpg

    Is the old one a 1/2 ton and the new one a 3/4 ton? From that angle, it not only looks taller but looks wider.

    It will just be pulling the trailer. I never have to get deep in the woods so the grandpa boards won't be an issue.

    Both are 1/2 tons. The 15 is a little closer to the camera so that makes it look a little bigger. It also had Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks on the front providing a little extra lift.

    That's a good question. Arkansas snow storms haven't been a problem as of yet. :thumbs:

    I used to go out during a storm to plow family member's driveway or just to remove the header the town plow made. That snow is alway compacted and very heavy. It was white knuckle for me. Only way out was to sell my plow and truck. Everyone of them could well afford to pay a professional plow man to take care of their snow removal needs. No one ever offered to help with the maintenance of the plow truck.
