GM 6.2L Gas Engine for pulling?

Starting to look at a new truck for 2019.

I am talking about a 2019 silverado 2500. All reports I have read are indicating it will have a 6.2L and I believe it will be an aluminum block and heads with direct injection. I suspect it will be the same engine now in the 1500.
I am also reading the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six and the 6.2L gas engine will be hitched up to a 10 speed tranny.

IDk but it would be a wise move. The 6.0l is a good motor but GM is lagging a little behind the competition, powerwise.

You can only get the 6.2 in a half ton. I can't imagine most would be too happy going from a HD Duramax to a half ton unless you're downsizing the trailer quite a bit.

The 6.2L is a GREAT hot rod ‘car’ engine...but it is currently NOT offered by GM in any +8k GVWR Class TV. Am referring to the aluminum block...or is there an iron block coming ?

You are about to drop down in TV class...GVWR by about 1,xxx.... 2,000 lbs...or more

Check out the RGAWR between what you have now vs any of the GM full sized half ton TV’s. With a PIN of 1,410 lbs...most half ton’s will run out of RGAWR....especially if you will be loading close to the payload rating

Nothing wrong with either the Aluminum 6.2L or half ton’s...just know that you are down sizing TV...and hope your trailer is within that new TV’s ratings
