crew cab (kids are getting bigger) standard bed, I'm with you on that John, everybody I've talked to say they don't break a sweat up hills. Chevrolet Silverado HD is the 2011 Motor Trend Truck of the Year. Watch and see who wins as the Chevy Silverado HD takes on the Ford Super Duty in an uphill race on Interstate 70 near Dillon, Colorado. The trucks are timed as they climb a 5-7% grade pulling a trailer of 19,000 pounds, and the results are impressive. This was posted soon after Ford did their own comparison of the new Ford against Dodge and Chevy on their own track using that guy in all the Ford commercials. Chevy got some unbiased editors to do this test.
