Yesir it is! i tried it out today and it cuts like a knife through butter. The 5x8 does its job, i really only use that to move equipment around on and i borrow my buddies 6x12 with 4ft sides for debris and to mount my leaf vac on

How the gas treating you on the truck with and without the trailer?
The truck gets pretty good mpg. I dont know exactly how much per gallon but i drove it about 2-300 miles a week during winter and filled up once a week. With the trailer is a different story, because its only a 5 cylinder it struggles a little bit pulling my mower so after 3 days in a row of pulling the mower it would be close to empty

Am i the only one who hasnt heard of a five cylinder? Im guessing thats an inline 5 cylinder?
dont worry i never heard of it either haha. my dad and i went to the dealer and saw the truck in great shape and went and got it for a good deal. im looking at the new 2500 duramaxs.

Agreed! What is everyone's obsession with Diesel on this site. I get it for Dumps and like 5th wheel trailers but its the worst decision for mowing rigs ... Diesels are made to be run and don't take to well to be shut off and turned back on repeatedly ... I know guys around here with diesels and they stop at house on mow, drive 3 miles shut off mow, load up, drive 2 miles shut off mow load, drive 6 miles shut off mow load ... and then they're confused at house they can have problems with there new trucks ... I wish GMC/Chevy would offer the Allison for their gassers because thats the only upside for having a duramax on a mowing rig ... but thats just how I see it ... when and if I decide on a dump truck over a dump trailer that'll be duramax

A contractor actually just explained the same exact thing to me a few weeks ago. I am only 18 so i never knew that about diesels. Im looking at a regular chevy 2500 gas with a plow but the allison transmission would really be key if they had it on gas.

There is so much talk about this on the Internet. :usflag:

If you're just hauling around a couple mowers and other small equipment in town, then a gas-er truck is best for you.

If you're pulling heavy loads then a diesel truck is best!. . I also have a 35' 5TH wheel camper that I pull with my F-350 and it's heavy!
