I have the 2500HD Duramax Diesel Silverado. It is an excellent truck, extremely tough and dependable. The overall power is more than sufficient for towing a 30' trailer or a 26' wakeboard boat up a hill. The long bed gives enough room to pack up for a weekend of camping, with plenty of room for the dogs to roam in the back. Gas mileage is much better than most of the trucks I have driven in the past, though it is not a Prius! There has been no significant issues with the engine, as long as our routine care is kept up. My main issues have been with tires, which says nothing for the actual truck!

Great truck, minimal issues, regular wear and tear, drives great, pulls trailer.
