GM 6.2L Gas Engine for pulling?
Starting to look at a new truck for 2019. I have been pulling with a Duramax, but now looking to maybe go with a gas engine next time around. The reason is based low pulling mileage and trailer weigh...

I always scratch my head at the above? Big size where. 1500 or 2500 or 3500 in the same cab/bed, is the exact same wheelbase, width, and overall length. The 2500/3500 usually has a slightly larger turning radius due to the suspension. Overall height is a few inches higher as is ground clearance, but it's basically the same size as the body panels are exactly the same....at least with GM.
Bigger springs, brakes, axles, driveshafts, u joints, and a whole host of other things too, but thats not exactly a bad thing?
I have never been able to grasp the bigger thing on boards. Hell I've seldom been able to digest a truck thread lol.
Ditto. My Ram actually turns quite a bit tighter than a same year/configuration F150. Taller is the only dimension that could come into play in a low parking garage situation. Beyond that HD trucks are heavier but they aren't any "bigger" in dimensions. I personally think HD trucks are a better value proposition than half tons because they don't cost materially more so the additional capability is basically free. But they also don't incur the downsides of living with a dually, so to me they're the sweet spot. YMMV.
