Change your rear end gears.
Dude he has a 6.0 and 3;73's... Its bad enough he gets 2 mpg...
Dont change rear gears... Just ride in 4th gear with that load as I stated above in my post...Use tow haul mode!!! Its that little button on the shifter handle..
I guess no one read my post and just reply for the heck of it..
2500 burbs with 6.0 all had 3;73 AFAIK.. and can tow 9000 plus...
Your post wasn’t there when I started mine so your rant about “no one” was just one guy. Changing gearing can be a good idea if the speed you want to travel the most frequently with the given load puts your vehicle between two gears, neither of which are ideal.
I agree the tow/haul and/or downshifting is a good and free first option.
