    I WAS PRICING A GMC VS A CHEVY TODAY ON THE INTERNET AND GMC OFFERED THE VHO ON THE 1/2 TON, BUT DIDN'T OFFER IT ON THE CHEVY. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF YOU CAN GET THE VHO IN THE CHEVY?

    I was looking at both a Silvy and Sierra and noticed one thing. The Sierra had 4 wheel discs while the Silvy did not. The Sierra was also a VHO, so maybe 4 wheel disc brakes are an option

    I know how you feel. When I noticed the old man&#39;s truck had dumb (drum) brakes on the back, I was like WTF? is going on here.

    so did they do that certain years or something..my dad had an 03&#39; ecsb 5.3l for his work truck and it had four wheel discs, but some of the other guys at his work had chevys that were a year newer and they had drums in the rear?

    my guess would be costs, but other than that i see no reason why theyd have drums on the rear. mine have drums on the rear, and id like to have disc, but dont need them that bad&#33;
