I am in the process of buying a new truck. Looking to get a crew cab to haul the family, but also want to be able to haul just about anything needed and get fair mileage. Been looking for a Chevy 1500HD with decent miles so it's been takeing a bit a time. Does any one have one of these trucks and whats your thoughts...likes or dislikes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

My uncle has a gmc 1500hd with the 4 wheel steer. He loves his truck. It gets about 15mpg highway. He pulls a 28-30ft snowmobile trailer enclosed, with ease. I like the idea of a powerful crew cab 6.5ft box, that gets the mileage of a half-ton. I wish chevy still made these. I would buy one in a heartbeat.

Dont restrict yourself to the 1500 HD. They dont get much better mileage than the 3/4 to 1 ton gas GM's with the 6.0 and haul/ride similar. I would look for the best buy regardless, plus u would have more 3/4 to 1 ton trucks to pick from than just 1500 HDs. just my 2 cents

The 1500HD is the same as the 2500 (not the 2500HD, which is heavier duty). With the 1500HD/2500 you get a transfer case that includes the auto setting (can't get this on 2500HD or 3500). The tranny is the nearly bulletproof 4L80. They are great trucks.

i own a 2007 classic 1500hd. if it is mileage you are concerned about, don't buy it. i get maybe 15 on the highway on a good day. the motor is a 6.0l but it is tuned down compared to the 2500HD or the denali. Dont get me wrong, i love my truck, it tows my 20' boat nicely, just dont expect to tow anything really big and get good mileage.

I own a 2003 1500 HD that I bought new, it now has about 73,000 miles on it. It has been a great truck, the 6.0 pulls my 18 ft boat great, and has towed anything I have hooked to it. This is not the truck you want if your concerned about gas mileage, I get about 10-11 mpg around town and have never hit the 15 mpg mark on a trip, thats not towing anything I should add. The mileage numbers are from the truck computer, I have never checked it on paper. I love the truck, just wish the mpg were better.
