Buying Class C Is Chevy 6.0 good for towing?
Ive always had the Ford 460 or a V-10. Is the Chevy 6.0 big enough to tow? We haul a 18' car trailer with 4 full size quads and gear, but only once a year (About 500 miles) the rest of the time no tow...

I've been towing with a Express Van with the 6.0 and 4 speed trans for 8? years.
First camper 5,500 lbs and I now have an 20ft Toy hauler - 4,500 lbs, with a
motorcycle in the van and about 300lbs of stuff;
I just did a 5,000 mile trip out to Big Bend and back so flat roads and hills.
The 6.0L did great - lots of torque; Cruised at 60-65 mph and got 11.8 mpg;
For the most part the trans was locked in top gear doing 2,100 rpm, trans
steps down on hills to 2,600 rpm;
The 6 speed tows better and the change down is not so great.
