2015 Chevy/GMC 2500 Diesel or Gas?
2015 Chevy or GMC 2500 Gas vs. Diesel? I know the diesel is going to be the top choice but does anyone have the gas and are they happy with it? I have a 31ft travel trailer and we are upgrading from...

Happy with my 2015 Silverado 2500 crew cab 4x4 6.0 gas truck with the 4.10 rear. I traded in a 2011 Sierra 1500 Extended cab 4x4 5.3 with the 3.42 Rear. My gas mileage is the same in town and it's actually better on the highway (18mpg) then the 2011.
It was a night and day difference with my old Dutchmen 30DSL after I got the 2500. It barely even lowered the rear suspension. Now we have a Springdale 253FWRL 5er and have more then enough payload and the truck pulls it with no problems here on the east coast. Flat towing with the the 5er is 12mpg. Our Florida trip from southern PA to Disney World we averaged 11mpg. Just 2 weeks ago I hauled my 47 Ford Street Rod (3,300lb) to Ocean Maryland using a Big Tex Model 12FT Full Bed Tilt Trailer (3,000lb Empty) and averaged 13.5 mpg. That average includes sitting in traffic on Kent Island trying to get to the bay bridge to come home on a Sunday.
