Gas ford f250 vs Chevy Silverado 2500 towing.
I'm trying to figure out which gas truck to buy. Chevy 2500 or f250. Are these the exact same? It looks on my research ford tow rating 12,300 and Chevy 13,000. Unless I'm reading it wrong. Has anyone ...

We have a 2011 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 with 5.7L engine and six speed transmission. It struggles to pull my 7500 lbs. It can't stay in cruse control on anything but an absolute flat highway. I get 9+ mpg whether towing or around town. The only time the mileage is decent is when on the highway which I never am.
If I had to do it again I'd buy a pickup truck and put a back on it.
Something does not match up. The engine should have been a 6.0L with 352HP 382 ft lbs of torque with a 6 speed tranny. Should have towed OK, in less somehow it had the 5.3L.
