Why full size other than Just Because? I am also suggesting Import because of this one sentence.
* I am not a mechanic. While I can do all the routine maintenance, anything 'involved' requires me to hand it off to a real mechanic. Actually, as I write this, I am not even sure I know what the "routine maintenance" is for a diesel, so am unsure if I really can do it.
If you have no clue, buy the best bang for the buck, overall lower maintenance cost and almost bullet proof. The UP / DOWN dise to metric UP= resale Down = resale. You'll pay more for a used import, then a big 3 unit.
Eventually we will sell the silverado and replace it with an import.
