    Hey y'all. I am a transplanted Texan living in ID now. I am a recovering GM 2500HD-aholic. Gas prices and filling up every 4-5 days finally broke me down. Just bought a 2013 Baja T|X.

    Welcome from Montana!

    Just out of curiousity...my parents are looking to buy either a 1500HD or 2500 to tow a trailer with. Any advice, things to watch out for? Dad's always been a Chevy guy but we've all been out of the loop when it comes to full size trucks for a long time...

    Welcome to TW. Next spring, I am driving to Arizona from West Virginia but am going thru Idaho. Can't wait to see the beautiful scenery out there. Gonna be sleeping in the truck. I bought an ARE Z series and it will be "home" for a few weeks during the drive.

    Thanx fellas! It is beautiful up here in the mountains and believe it or not, may be even more like the old west than TX. You can still carry a loaded gun rack in you back window here, can't do that legally anymore even in TX.

    My last one was the 8.1L gas engine. I should have bought the diesel for resale/trade-in. Get the 6 spd Alison not the 5spd as it can dump the internal trans fluid pump from time to time which means dropping the tranny and completely rebuilding. The other thing to make sure is not to use a wet (K&N style oil) air filter if you replace the stock on or add a CAI. It will most likely cost you a new MAF and sensor. Use only dry filters.

    Yes it is!!! And the state senate just approved additional CCL opportunities - more training means more legal carry opportunities, like state govt buildings. In addition, reciprocity with 33 states now making it the most recognized CCL in the country!
