The silverado starts at $25,500. The Tahoe starts at $44,000. I think that's a good place to start looking as to "why".

A proper truck can handle way more than a ute, and have the ability to go off road.

nothing wrong with that. They are useful here on the Texas Gult Coast especially the beach towns. Tow boat, haul gear, patrol the beach , and the streets.

they are not really equipped to go off road if they need to. That's why pretty much all the game wardens have trucks

Nice! I live about 45 minutes north of you but I'm kayaking in Galveston Bay every other weekend.

Kayaking on Galveston bay? It doesn't get too choppy in some spots

Deven > EL_ULY 04/29/2014 at 18:28

Not if you use a kayak that is the size of a small boat.
