Hi All,
I am looking to buy a 3/4 ton pickup to pull a 22-25 ft gooseneck trailer rated for up to 14,000LB loads. I found a Chevy 2500. It has a lot of miles (187K), seems to be in good shape. Anyway, it has a 350 cu.in. motor which makes me a little weary. I live in the Ozarks with lots of hills, some pretty steep and I'm thinking this may be too little motor. I would prefer a 454 but so far I haven't found one. Your opinions, please.
