3/4 ton Diesel 4×4 trucks

ok. I’m in the market for a 3/4 ton Tow vehicle/daily driver. Long bed is a must as it will need to be able to hold two ATV’s on the planned Diamond back Tonneau cover. I’m looking for practical advice one what you purchased and why you purchased it. My current leader is the 2017 GMC Sierra 2500HD. I’d look at the 2016 GMC/Chevy’s but the ’17’s have 48 more HP and 145 more FPT. and the rebates really aren’t that much better to look aside from the power increase. Prices wise I’m in the $50k-$55k range. And unfortunately the car payment that comes with it… But my current tow vehicle and soon to be daily driver (she’s getting the commuter because I’m getting the travel trailer) is maxed out towing the Travel trailer, has 170k miles on it already, and can’t take the ATV/s and the travel trailer at the same time. And half-ton trucks just don’t give me the payload/towing capacity that I want to feel comfortable.

And lastly…

Suggestions for upgrades

Hey guys, new to the forum and this is my first post. So with it being tax season I couldn’t help but go out and get my first quad. A friend of mine was selling his and u couldn’t resist. Now I’m the proud owner of an 04 predator 500. He has already done some work to it like stage 3 dyna jets, K&N air filter, polaris pro pipe, and fully adjustable led halos. I’m wanting to add my personal touch to it but I don’t want to compromise the work he’s done. I’m thinking new upgraded brakes, handguards, skid plates, etc. This thing will either be on trails or out in the sand dunes. What would you guys do? Curious to see what else I can do to it. Much thanks
