What did you buy this week?

[LouNY]

Many many years ago we had an open pan about 8 inches deep and 4 foot by about 7 foot that was set up on cement blocks every spring that we used for the rough cooking, dumping all the cans and pails into it then every few days cooking it down quite away and carrying pails of the almost syrup down to the house for my Mother to finish off on the cook stove. On my way to the barns in the morning I stop and refill the pan with sap and load the wood fire up. I'd take a few slices of buttered toast with me and dunk in the cooked down sap before refilling the pan and starting morning chores.

Dammit! I really struggled with this decision. It has the 3.0L Duramax diesel.

It looks like a nice truck but in the last picture I think your wife is on her phone trying to sell it.

This week I bought a Branson 2500HL with a loader and a flail mower.

What the L stand for? Just bought a 2400H 2021 model.

I bought this truck for my wife. She loves it, and so far it has been trouble free, gets great mpg on trips.
Wasn't sure about the 3.0 but it's pretty quick, quiet and goes a while between fill ups. Only 14,000+/- on
the odometer currently.....I'll decide if I like it after it gets a few more miles on it.

I've put about 40 miles on it so far. I find the ride is a little stiffer than what I was expecting. And although the diesel has good pep, it seems to be a little less than my Ram 2500 with the 6.4L hemi. I think the price was fair compared to other vehicles, and the diesel actually has a $1000 discount compared to the gasser. I considered replacing my Ram with another Ram, but now the Ram diesel is only offered in the High Output version, which is a $12,000 increase over the 6.4L gas engine.

For now, I'm keeping this new truck, and my Ram 2500, which I will continue to use to pull my 28' gooseneck trailer. This new GMC does have one of the highest towing capacities of any 1/2-ton truck since it has the diesel, but I still won't pull a gooseneck with it.

So is that truck a 1500 with a diesel engine?

Yes it is. I have 2 friends that have a very similar truck and the are getting about 26 mpg. It’s the only half ton diesel available right now from the big 3. Ford and Ram don’t offer diesel in a half ton for 2025 models.
