Here's my upgraded tow monster we bought Friday. We went form an '03 Toyota Sequoia to this '09 GMC Sierra 2500 HD. Towing our 29' Shasta has now become much more enjoyable. The Sequoia's 118" wheel base didn't fare well with the length of the Shasta, creating some unsettling interstate driving. I hitched up today and took it on an interstate run around town. The difference was remarkable! Surprised the towing mpg on the Sierra (6.0L V8) is about 1mpg higher than the Sequoia (4.7 L V8).
We weren't in favor of adding new debt, but it was either that or sell the trailer and buy a tent. Nah!
Nice truck, but you can't expect much with that 6.0L. It's an engine that just gets you from point A to B,...with nothing exciting about how you got there.
