First Mountain Towing with 6.0 gas GMC
As I have posted in other Forum Topics here at RV.Net, I purchased a new 2013 GMC 6.0 (gas) 3500 SRW 8' box, Crew Cab 4.10 late last year. This was after owning a 6.0 Ford Diesel for 9 long, expensive...

That 4.10 is key, in my (disputed, but I'm ok with that) opinion.
And GM built a good little motor in that 6.0. I have a feeling it will be around a long time, like the small block 350 it superseded.
On a rig that tows heavy, one doesn't really need to go more than 62 mph, so why not leverage all the gears the transmission has to offer with a deeper rear end? Fuel economy can be controlled when unloaded by not driving 75. The difference between 65 and 75 is huge on fuel economy.
