And I am opting for fuel mileage over traction in inclement weather so I don't need a 4WD transfer case and such. I guess this is the stuff of horse races, but every front end mechanic I talked to about this said the Chevy frame is the strongest of all the major brands of pickups. My mechanic among them.
