 Also, if you are getting a short box, the 1500 has a 5’8” box whereas the 2500 is 6’6”.  As I can’t fit a crew cab long box in my garage the bigger short box of the 2500 was a benefit. [/QUOTE]

I did not realize that.  That in itself almost completely seals the deal for me.  I camp in my truck a lot...I'm 6', so do the math.  And from what I can see in their online truck compare-a-truck thing on the Chevy site, the 6.2 is now only available in the LTZ or above.  I don't need an LTZ.  I'm an LS/LT kinda guy.[/QUOTE] You can get a 1500 with a 6'6" box. I have a 2015 Crew Cab 1500 with the "standard" box. Standard box (doesn't mean it is standard equip BTW) is the 6'6" box. Shortbox is the useless 5' and change box.
I just loaded a yard of black dirt in it on Saturday. The bobcat just dumped it right in there. If I had the short box, it would have had to be on a trailer since the bucket was too wide and half would have dumped on the ground.[/QUOTE]
