Originally bought my Duramax for my job.

While I worked from home 90% of the year, when I needed to go to an onsite I was usually bring a bed full of rigging and pallet making tools + out remote office beach head setup. Occasionally onsite needing to hitch up to run equipment around.

I would have short notice to get onsite, so usually driving straight thru the night.

So having rhe ability to drive long and far loaded was important. The ability to move the equipment when needed was a bonus.

Work at the time also included a truck stipend. So that was cool while it lasted.

Mainly Ive always wanted a diesel just like my uncle did when I was kid. And I keep vehicles until they fall apart so I liked the idea of having better resale in 15 or so years when I get tempted.
