chevy 6.0
Anyone carry their camper on a Chevy 2500 or 3500 with the 6.0 gas engine? With camper weight max 3000# how well does it do hills and mountains?

Don't forget about the tranny. I went diesel, so I don't know much about the tranny in the 6.0. I went with the diesel because of the Allison transmission.
If you blow a tranny you will eat up the cost difference pretty quick.
My previous truck lost the tranny twice ... hence ... go with the Allison. That was the tipping point for me.
Diesel = more power and torque = tougher transmission

A heavy duty gasoline engine will not have trouble hauling any size truck camper currently made. Once you add a towed car or trailer behind the camper you will start to see advantages of using a diesel.
