we used our 2004 duramax as a daily driver and for long unloaded trips as well as towing for 150K miles. Doing the same as our 2015 Duramax.
Both are crew cab 4x4 and frankly, DW and I along with our kids prefer the duramax for long trips vs. their or our cars. And as a daily driver, not an issue either. Drove the duramax to work every day for 12 years, about 10 miles round trip.
on the highway we average 18-19 mpg unloaded vs. 24mpg for our sedan. not enough difference to worry about.
Now if it was a dually or a long bed, another story. the CC SB takes up two spots lengthwise in parking, especially if the hitch is in. And a dually is pretty wide. Neither is as "daily driver" friendly IMHO
