I got to ride around in this rig this afternoon

The lady who owns it uses it to pull her Corvette Z06 and 944 Turbo race cars. She is an instructor at Mid-America Raceway, and they just got back from Laguna Seca. The truck itself has the 6.6 Duramax diesel with 660lbs/ft of torque, so it pulled like a bloody fright train. Also, being an LTZ, it was absurdly comfortable. I was really impressed. And it has a great plate.

And that thing is nothing short of massive, Haah. Ah, vanity plates that actually make sense.

When we pulled up, my dad asked him, "So, were they out of the really big trucks?"

It's a pre-2011, because it has a front bumper that matches the 1500 trucks, so actually it "only" has 660 ft-lbs of torque.

I will make that edit.

Jeez, with those 105 gone, I'm amazed it moved at all.

It would still scoot the 2500 through the quarter at a dreadfully slow 15 seconds. Only slower than the Ford 6.4 in those years.

This sounds like an interesting person.

Also, that comfort is one of many reasons why I have a truck.

Cars are comfy too. I was surprised it was comfy b/c most trucks I've been in aren't.

Cars without center consoles are really comfortable.

This had a center console. No bench seats.

LTZ, Duramax.

That's basically my grandfathers truck. Except his is a single wheel. They are really fucking powerful and extremely comfortable. They get annoying over bumps if you have airbags that are full of air when towing.
