Show us a pic of the beast. Leave the kinks in it ... They give it a patina and oodles of street credibility. 
Bought a new truck to me 2002 Chevy Silverado 4x4 Crew cab 222K 6.0L
Love the truck, slowly working out the kinks in it. Body not perfect by any means but its a truck and I bought it so I can get a camper /haul so we can stay in while at the races.
Right now we stray in a hotel or in most cases a tent.
Get's about 13mpg hauling the bike but once I toss a camper behind it it will get probably 9-10MPH.
It has an 8 foot bed, tool box, came with 305/75/16 wheels and tires. Speedo has been changed for larger tires. Truck is a Silverado 2500HD.
Time will tell if I got a good deal. I gave $6800.00 for it.
I've put about 500 miles on it so far.

My dad has a 03 (I think) 1500HD with the 6.0L. It pretty much gets 14mpg all the time. Towing a 1949 Dodge Coronet on a Uhaul trailer it was getting about 11mpg. His is all stock though.
Cool, those are good trucks. Definitely need pics!
Jesus, must be a huge bloody camper if you only going to get 10mph out of the van when towing!!!
How cool is that bad boy. It's bigger than the freakin house!
Great truck! Like to own one but...
1900 euro's or 2300 dollars a year road-tax over here.
Sales price for a 150.000mi 2007 about 15000 eur, $18000
And govt. tells us we're not being ripped.
Didn't even mention fuel.

I filled my truck up the other day just under 10mpg, city driving under 300 miles on the tank truck needed 29 gallons to fill it cost $90.00 plus some change at $3.0899 per gallon
hoping I can get the same pulling the camper

City driving in cold weather does make for terrible mileage. If the camper isn't too big I think you'll get that pulling for a distance on the highway in decent weather.
I drove 1000 ks yesterday. ( 600miles )
I got 34mpg at 60 to 70 mph.
fuel is $1.65 litre $7.40 gallon
$3 a gallon is a dream.
buy an IVECO turbo daily and enjoy the benefits!!!!
it will haul ever bit as much as your truck

Don't think we get those here. The plus of a full size truck like Dell's is that they are really comfortable, nice driving things. Sort of a luxury car (almost) that can haul and go off road.
Well, when it comes to gas this truck drinks it like a German does achohol. I love it and its been doing a good job so far. She gets about 8MPG fully loaded with the camper and bikes, and all the other stuff. We went to Bristol VA a few races back and the truck pulling over the mountains got around 7MPG. Trip cost in fuel was roughly $250.00
To help lift the burden of fuel I fill it up a week or two before I pull so it has nearly a full tank. That way I forget how much it's really costing me in fuel for the short run but trustme, my checking account does not forget.
