    With all the new stuff coming out, I REALLY want a new Chevy, probably a Tahoe though. Unfortunately, the pricing and financing options on all these new vehicles killed the used truck market making it hard jump to take.

    The Mada towing capacity maxes out at 9100lbs, but I know what you me, no way would I tow that much with a 1/2 ton vehicle.

    This is a common problem right now...... hopefully GM will do a little better on the financing towards the end of the year.......

    At 10,000 LBS most ( I would think) people are useing electronic over hydralic brakes on there trailers and those brakes in connection with the truck brakes should be better than most using just surge brakes on a 3/4 ton..... BUT to answer your question I have not seen the brakes on the new trucks.... I will look into that....

    Don't know for sure BUT with my 3/4 ton Sub 4x4 with 4.10 gears I get an average of 11.7 MPG thats with NO Active fuel Mgmt (That should be good for 1.5 MPG at least) and 2500 pounds (aprox.) lighter that should also be good for 2 MPG.....

    My computer shows Armada at 9,000 LBS max with 305 HP and 385 ft LBS of torque.....

    9,000 for the 4x4, 9,100 for the 4x2, not that it matters.
