My tow rig/daily driver is a 2011 Silverado 1500. Rides like a Caddy and gets good mpg. Specs: 5.3L 315hp-335tq 6 speed auto with tow/haul mode 4wd 3.42 gears Regular cab, long bed Mods: Extang Tough Tonno Prodigy trailer brake controller 50 series Flowmaster with side exit in front of the right rear wheel Thinking about getting some air assist bags for the rear for towing.

Daily driving I get between 15 and 18, winter gas kills the mpg. Best I ever got was 21.5 but that was 100% highway in the summer. Towing the jeep it gets 10.

Yeah I'm very happy with the truck. Sometimes wish I got the extended cab but I wanted an 8ft bed, woulda been too big around here.

Picked up a trailer on Craigslist yesterday. It's in great shape as far as no rust. Needs tires and a spare, brakes work, just need to go through the bearings and check the brakes.

Trailer is in much better shape than I thought. The brakes all work, just need an adjustment, no sign of water in the bearings. Just repacking the bearings, new seals, and tires.
