2015 Chevrolet 2500HD 6.0 Gas and 12K fifth wheel

I now have a 2008 Ram 2500 with 6.7 Cummins. It tows great but I want a new truck. I am retired and live in the Baton Rouge suburban area. What that means is a lot of short 1 -3 mile trips without man...

We pull a travel trailer that is near 10,500lbs when loaded with a 2011 GMC 2500HD 6.0/6sp 3.73 CCSB. I wish I had the 4.10 gears since the 6sp has double overdrive and plenty of gears for handling the 4.10s. You already know the 6.0 has to turn some higher rpms for the power.. It tows it fine (yes, I would love a diesel, but don't drive or tow enough to make sense).

I haven't towed the Rockies yet but would not have a problem going slower if needed.
