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.

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.

Don't have any 3/4 ton experience, but I'll add that the 2014 and newer Chevy's can be bought with a 4 door crew cab and 6.5" bed option as well. Quite a few of them running around now with that option.
