Pretty sure that's not a 2022/23 model, which was the basis of the OP. I've had 3 fuel transport tractors go well over 1M miles, but that has nothing to do with the OP either.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
Buddy paid close to 80k and a several month wait for a Chevy crew cab long bed 3500 with a duramax.
Another buddy called down to phoenix and got a brand new Chevy 1/2 ton crew cab short box trail boss that they had on the lot. Said he saved a bunch of dough and a long wait time over getting it local from the rapist dealer.
All you want to do is argue. First you wanted a good used 4x4 for $35,000.00 and Teal found it for you.
At no point in the entire thread have I said USED...
As for the trucks Teal found they were as much as 8 years old... and some with mileage over 140k... Dandy...
This entire thread started with the OP asking about a New Tundra or New Chevy...
Used and diesel were injected by you and others...

Help me find that quote also regarding a 1/2 ton gasser...
DO NOT TWIST THE FACTS!
As for your 2022 Duramax... congratulations AGAIN (I also congratulated you in May... and June)... Mention it again and I will send cookies...
A new 2022 loaded Duramax @ $65k... Find me one... in real time...
The entire point is that base level 1/2 ton new trucks are rare as hell...
What don’t you get? . Go ahead and wiggle back and forth. You did say a truck costing $100,000.00 is the new normal.
Here is your quote:

My bad... I meant to say NEW $35k or less 4wd 1/2 ton pick-up that can be bought with cash money this week...
My mention of the diesel is to show how far off you are with your analysis on the cost of trucks. If I paid $65,000.00 for a one ton diesel pickup, any prospective truck buyer would know a gas 1/2 ton will cost much less.
If you use it as a truck instead of a car it levels itself…
Yup.
I've always hated the look of leveled trucks, looks highly gay. I've never seen anybody that actually uses their truck with it leveled.
As posted a trucks frond end should not be 2” lower than the rear. You get better ground clearance which is needed going off road.
Some of us actually take our trucks off road and use them as trucks.
Leveling does help a little with clearance but more tire diameter will help as well
Leveling will help some with frame clearance but otherwise bottoms of lower control arms are in same spot plus steepens the angles of front axles and control arms.
Bottom of diff gains a little clearance.
Want more clearance under the whole thing go with larger tires which in turn may need leveling or an actual suspension lift. No rear blocks either, new leaf packs.
Big difference between a level and a lift.

The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!
I failed to mention, it will be used for hunting and just day to day getting from point A to point B. I do take 500-1000 mile road trips for hunting. I tow very little if at all and don’t haul anything greater than a dead elk or two.
