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...

Toni...have you measured a Sub vs your Sierra's length? Looks like you have the short bed and that is about the same as a Sub of that year. Look at where the rear passenger door edge is to the bumper vs my Sub pictured below...about the same
Remember, a half ton and 3/4 ton Sub are the exact same length. Just taller for the 3/4 ton because of the higher rated stuff below the body sheetmetal...
Fleet service has a 3500 Suburban and they are hitting the used market now
My K3500 Suburban (tongue n cheek...cuz the 6K RGAWR is the exact same axle as the dually of that year {upgraded the MC & cylinders to the 1 ton dually}...and AAM rates it at 10,000 GAWR...ordered the F60 option, which begets the snow plow prep and 1 ton front springs)Click For Full-Size Image

BenK, thanks for the info. Not sure what the new Burbs will be if they go 3/4 or 1 ton. While I like the aspect of a SUV, especially my experience with my Yukon Denali, I now find myself hooked on the utility of a pick-up. Don’t need the 3rd seat as I usually had them removed on my Denali. The 6.2 is a real beast. Wondering what GM might offer as a gasser option in a new 3/4 ton? The 6.0 has a good rep, but they probably have another option developing. BTW, nice ride you have there.
