I'm a bit concerned my 2012 Chevy 6.0L gas 3/4 ton will have power problems when towing doubles. what can I do to increase Torque/Horsepower and not void my warranty.
Best thing to do with the gasser is to make use of the 6 speed manual transmission and be sure to use the tow/haul.
As for the stopping ability that OL Bombero spoke of is simply a matter of anticipating a greater distance to stop and allow the extra space to stop going over the top of the grade a littler slower to descend it. Emergency stops arise a lot so you still have to be ready for those towing or not and you adjust to that when just driving and no r.v., right? His assertion that the plus side of double towing in MN. is that it is flat anyway. North eastern Iowa and into WI., there are some good hills. Not mountain by no means but some steeper long grades. I travel those with no problem and maintain 55mph and drop to maybe 45 mph going up some of the hill. I do have the power to go over them at 55 or 60 if I wanted to put the gas to it before the approach to the hill. But yes, Iowa is basically flat also, but I can do about all of the Midwest and have no concerns about power. The double tow is your choice. How much it weighs and how much more power you will need to tow it is up to you. Staying with in the law of course!
