I tried to convince him to get a trailer since he hardly ever needs to tow around anything and he would get twice the gas mileage in a smaller vehicle. His arguements were "you can't go offroading with a trailer", "but I want to be able to tow my dirt bikes" (as if you can't tow dirt bikes on a flat bed... easier), "a car can't tow a trailer", and the BEST "but I would need the truck bed every day" (he hasn't needed it once).
We can't deny a Silverado is cool as hell, especially with a Diesel

If it could fit my budget, I'd privately-import one, altough for me it would be useful to haul a camper and go off-roading. Working around auxiliary drive for a camping trailer would be a PITA.
