As a fellow Chevy Silverado 2500 HD owner, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with how well it performs. It's a great tow vehicle, definitely the best truck and tow vehicle I've ever owned.
Way to go!! What a nice HD truck. You did the right thing, since you will not be worrying about past problems with a used vehicle and how much you are on the road.
As a single woman who also drives a truck and occasionally pulls a camper trailer, my initiation into the world of truck drivers was emotional, cuz I also seem to get attached to my vehicles. But, WOW!, driving a truck is the BEST. I love being able to see from a greater height when I'm in traffic and I love that I can do almost ANYTHING in that truck. Your new truck is GORGEOUS and I'm celebrating with you from a distance. Congratulations on your purchase and here's wishing you many happy, safe travel miles ahead. 🙂
As a solo female traveler, you made the perfect decision with the type of vehicle you purchased. It is very important to feel safe.. words from another solo female traveler.
Congratulations Catherine on your brand new Chevrolet pickup truck. I'm so proud for you and now you'll know you have a reliable vehicle. Safe travels wherever lifes adventures takes you..✌❤😊 Maverick 🤠
Wow, just the smell of a brand new truck will keep you excited on the road. May you have more adventures and journeys with your new truck😊! Congratulations!
Congratulations! I have always purchased new. I’ve never purchased anybody else’s problem. That way warranty will cover the manufactures problems. She is a beauty!!
She's a beauty!!! Enjoy!!! My hubby and I purchased a new 2024 Titan in June to pull our new 2024 Geo Pro camper. This was a 50th wedding anniversary present to us. We are enjoying greatly! ❤ we love the state and county parks as well as Boondockers Welcome.
Congratulations on your new ride looks awesome 🎉🎊 I'm glad you're into something new instead of someone else is junk safety first when you out and about by yourself be safe Happy Holidays ✝️❄️🌲
CONGRATULATIONS! What a beauty!!! I am terrified driving big vehicles so I’m amazed by how much truck you are able to easily handle. Gives me encouragement
DO NOT PUT BIO-DIESEL FUEL IN YOUR TRUCK, if it has a Bosch fuel pump like ours. We didn't know about it, and it disintegrated our fuel pump and cost 8,000 to repair. Just a warning. Congrats on your new truck, though. I'm sure you're going to love it!
Congrats! What a beautiful truck! You made a great decision. We know from experience that safety and peace of mind on the road is so important! You will love this vehicle and allow you to go so many places! Again, so happy for you! 😀
Catherine... REALLY IMPORTANT. If you plan to EVER get a roof top tent... do not get a fiberglass camper shell UNLESS its reinforced... because otherwise you are going to be screwed. I am dealing with it now. I have ARE CX on my gladiator and you need ARE CX HD to put a roof top tent on it. To mitigate I ordered Milford Loadmax support brackets from only company on planet that does them... in australia. 2 months later its lost in NY ports. I ordered 2nd one and its supposed to get here some time in mid January? So if you are EVER planning to put a roof top tent... do yourself a favor and order either reinforced fiber glass cap or one of those metal ones specifically for supporting roof top tents.
Catherine I would definitely go with that mattress if i had a RV but it looks like my Stern and Foster I bought for my bedroom at home!! Thanks for sharing!! ❤ Carolyn Klenk
Congratulations! You deserve it. You will have a few years of no worries with a new vehicle. Line Peak makes a truck topper that has a pop up tent on the roof. It is open inside. You can add solar and roof racks. The base is $6k.
CONGRATULATIONS on the good choice, wise decision, with this new vehicle. I understand that you have chosen a new camper shell. The only suggestion I have: based upon personal experience, get a shell that rises up about 6 to 10 inches above the truck cab. Much better head height when sitting up on a bed platform in the back. And rear window best if vertical design, not the sloped design. More space, and better fit when closed, and sheds water better. Does this new truck, rear window roll down, to enter camper shell? Truck is also best choice for when you find property. It is what you will want/need when picking up supplies for your paradise. Seat covers, smart spent money.
Nooooiiiiiccceee!!!!!! I've had 3 new Silverados myself. Love those trucks. Love that factory warranty. I lost my tow vehicle six months ago. Finally got a brand new truck. Not as nice as yours, but it's great. You deserve it!!!!!!
At the end of the day you're making the best decision possible based on your past experiences with the old truck, so I'd say no one knows better than you! Good job young lady! 😊 Looking forward to all the future travels with the new truck!
I haven’t gotten into the video far but…. You made the right choice for you. That’s all that is important. Best of luck with your new truck. Peace of mind is a smart investment !
Congratulations on your new tow vehicle!! It's well deserved for putting out excellent videos!! And bye the way have a wonderful holiday!! Love the truck!! I actually like the Ram but yours is very nice!! ❤ Carolyn Klenk
I'm a retired Mack truck mechanic after 40 years. I went with a 6.2 gas F250. But I live in Iowa and we mostly go to the Black hills and every few years out to Yellowstone. That being said, I think you made the right choice going with a new diesel. Your towing in much higher elevations and yes the Diesel is the way to go for the miles you drive and where you drive... You did good. As far as New, I talked quite a few guys into a new truck instead of repairing theirs. We had a group of owner operators that pulled for a distribution center. They were dew back out sometimes as soon as they got back. Like you, they didn't have the time to be down for repairs. I convinced them that without the down time when they wouldn't be making money and the cost of repairs would probably equal out in the end per mile... So again you did good.... I love your videos, keep them coming, you take me to some places I've been, but most places west of the Rockies I haven't been. Try reaching out to BFG, I watch a gal in a Sprinter van that BFG backs her pretty good. And a lot of the ones I watch have lots of solar on their vehicles supplied by manufactures... Good luck ... And a early Merry Christmas...
Kudos to you!!! That truck is awesome! I think giving your situation of living on the road, purchasing a new vehicle is the way to go. It’ll give you that peace of mind which is essentially, priceless.
Congratulations Catherine! Very exciting. You made a good decision and you thought through what you wanted for your particular lifestyle. So nice that you don’t have to worry about a vehicle any more. Merry Christmas!
Congratulations! Everything happens for a reason! The truck is absolutely gorgeous! I think you made the right decision. I also spent a little more than I wanted to on my van last year but the main reason why is because I didn't want to be stuck out in the woods with no cell service! Best decision I ever made! I think you'll feel the same way in 1 year!
So happy for you excellent choice.Cant put a price on peace of mind.No worried now of potentially getting stuck and costly repairs.Now you can get back to some great adventures to share with us all.
Right on! That Jeep would have been a nightmare. Our old Tacoma could not pull our Keystone Hideout (which looks just like your Springdale). We found a low miles garaged 2014 Tundra that is mint. Happy holidays
Congratulations Catherine. Awesome choice. If it were me I'd really be researching the break-in requirements for your truck and your expected load. This is especially critical if you want your rig to last a good long time.
Diesels are awesome. My Cummins 5.9 is still churning. Like you, solo female towing trailer since 2006. Recently purchased year 2024 Northwood Arctic Fox 22G. I will keep pushing the Cummins a while longer, but like you, I will eventually upgrade to a new Cummins 6.7. Your videos are beautiful, no drama, just pure scenery like a Nat Geo presentation
Not one negative comment about buying a crazy expensive vehicle that depreciates 30k as soon as you drive it off the lot? I’ll be first. Many people sure are hooked on that “new truck smell” and encourage everyone to do the same.
Congratulations, great Truck and I am sure you'll take care of that baby. Please don't idle her a lot shes a diesel and she may not like that. That truck is a jack of all trades, you did a wise thing because if you change trailers in the near future you'd still be fine. May you enjoy all you upcoming adventures with us.
Your honest thought process and calm demeanor are a joy! I just went through a similar purchase of a new tow vehicle that is very similar to yours. Blessed Christmas to you, your family, and all your channel viewers 😊
Look at you! Adventure Girl, able to top the highest passes, drive ,walk and live in the coolest places in North America. You're very special Catherine. Keep up the good work. 🙂
Yippee Skippy Cat. It makes your You Tube family breathe easier knowing you are safe and our adventures with you continue. We l9ve you. Merry Christmas to you, Joey and your families.
My RV mattress is seriously the best mattress I've ever slept on! Visit rvmattress.com/catherine to get 30% off your order with code catherine.
You bought a REAL truck. Very nice. That will do the job you need it to. Congrats.
Soo happy and proud for you Cat!! Your Christmas decorations are great! Love your beautiful little tree. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎄🙌✝️🎉❤️💚

As a fellow Chevy Silverado 2500 HD owner, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with how well it performs. It's a great tow vehicle, definitely the best truck and tow vehicle I've ever owned.
I am SOOOOOO glad you went with a beefy truck instead of a Jeep or something. Best decision you could have made.
Thank you Larry!
For real. I was worried. I am so glad she has this new rig!!!
Good decision! Jeeps are crap!
You Do You, no one else's opinion matter. We are all on our own journey and congrats on your new beautiful truck.
I'm a Ford guy, but GM has a good diesel engine and transmission. You deserve a new truck. Congratulations. I think you did a smart decision.
Ditto. That $12k fuel pump makes it hard to recommend the F250, even to fellow gearheads who can preemptively replace it.
I’m very happy for you! How exciting. We are Dodge owners but I know how people fall in love with their own brands. She is a beauty!!!!! ❤❤❤
Way to go!! What a nice HD truck. You did the right thing, since you will not be worrying about past problems with a used vehicle and how much you are on the road.
My motto has always been "Safety First". Great decision!! Happy for you
I think you found the ideal tow vehicle, glad to hear you have a reliable truck to continue your journey.
My husband and I have this same truck.. (2 years older) but we love it.. very comfortable and easily hauls our camper across country….good choice!
My rule of thumb is when repairs cost more than monthly payments, it's time to get a new vehicle. Congratulations on your new ride.
As a single woman who also drives a truck and occasionally pulls a camper trailer, my initiation into the world of truck drivers was emotional, cuz I also seem to get attached to my vehicles.

Thank so much!
There's not to much more exciting than a brand new vehicle 😃! Great Christmas present for yourself. Have fun playing with your new toy!
Congratulations on the new truck, may she serve you well for many years to come.
Thanks!
Carmax…..Don’t walk away, run away! You made a smart move getting the new Silverado!
That truck has the same vibes as you Catherine! Strong, Elegant, and Independent!
Thank you 🙏
So True.
Congrats on the new truck. Great decision! Works fine lasts a long time!
As a solo female traveler, you made the perfect decision with the type of vehicle you purchased. It is very important to feel safe.. words from another solo female traveler.
Feeling safe is such a stress relief. Both vehicle and out camping.
Be safe and happy trails 🙂
This is vehicle you have deserved all along - congratulations! I won't worry about you (as much) now.
Congratulations Catherine on your brand new Chevrolet pickup truck. I'm so proud for you and now you'll know you have a reliable vehicle. Safe travels wherever lifes adventures takes you..✌❤😊 Maverick 🤠

SOUNDS like they didn't MISS ANYTHING.
GOT THE 💪 WORKS.❤❤❤❤
Congratulations! I have always purchased new. I’ve never purchased anybody else’s problem. That way warranty will cover the manufactures problems. She is a beauty!!
Certified previously owned vehicles are excellent. They carry the manufacturer's warranty as well.
Great---IF one can afford to.....
Stylin! You will be riding in comfort for sure. Enjoy! 🤙
Sweeeet rig, Cat!
470 hp, 975lb-ft torque … it is a beast!
Her name is, Cat, but she drives no kitten!
Congratulations Catherine! She is beautiful! Now she needs a name 🧡
She's a beauty!!! Enjoy!!! My hubby and I purchased a new 2024 Titan in June to pull our new 2024 Geo Pro camper. This was a 50th wedding anniversary present to us. We are enjoying greatly! ❤ we love the state and county parks as well as Boondockers Welcome.
Your blood pressure will be far lower now, without "will I break down on this trip" fears every time you embark! Congratulations, Catherine. Cheers!
lol!🤣
Yes! I'm so excited for a more reliable truck! Thank you!
Peace of mind !!!
Congratulations! Good decision!
Less stress… I know with my 2001 on a long journey 😢
Good luck with your new truck. Peace of mind is so important.
So happy for you Catherine!! You will have so much confidence whether you're truck camping or towing. Enjoy it, you've earned it by far!!❤❤❤
Thanks so much! I can’t wait to get out on the road!
I am a retired mechanic and I will tell you that you made an excellent choice. Happy Hollidays, enjoy!
Congratulations on your new ride looks awesome 🎉🎊 I'm glad you're into something new instead of someone else is junk safety first when you out and about by yourself be safe Happy Holidays ✝️❄️🌲

Congratulations on your new truck, you certainly deserve it, thanks for all you share with all of us.
That is a Bad Ass truck! I am so happy for you. You deserve this! You’re gonna keep it for 20 yrs so it’s good you bought brand new!

Congratulations on the new ride! I appreciate you reiterating that safety should always be the top priority - could not agree more!
How exciting Catherine! She’s a beauty, and so much safer !😍
You won't be disappointed

Good for you! Good choice. Maybe you can trade the tires while they’re new for better ones. Synchronicity on the way it worked out.
Absolutely the best decision you could have made! Congrats! She's a beauty!
Look at you! Adventure Girl, able to top the highest passes, drive ,walk and live in the coolest places in North America. You're very special Catherine. Keep up the good work. 🙂
