Upgraded to a 2500HD Duramax Silverado (max tow) last month in preparation for the delivery of our 25' Reflections. Grew up RV'ing, we are very excited for our family of 5 to have new adventures and make some great memories!

Looks great! …and you have plenty of truck.
Thanks all! Let me clear any confusion, I was not worried about the truck being enough for the rig. I’m not sure how others spend money on a truck, but I wasnt doing it without researching it’ll tow more than what I need for this 5er, and with headroom for something a little bigger in the future, if needed. It’s not a coincidence we opted for the duramax and 3500 max tow package.
Anyway, thanks for the support. Just wanted to share our excitement with the RV community. Happy camping!
Licensing can be a pain for a 3500 in some jurisdictions so this alleviates the issue.
Nice!
What hitch are you using in that short bed?
