Here we go again....6.0 liter a good TV?
I know this has been kicked around a hundred times but I need more input. I have a new TT, 31.5' overall length, about 6000 dry weight. Since I can't afford a Duramax, I've been looking at a 2013 GM 2...

Fantastic engine. I towed with a 454 for years, thought there was no substitute for cubic inches, not so anymore. 454 couldn't match the 6.0 (366 cu)
Had an '05 Roadtrek based on Chevy Express van w/6.0, 3.42 gears. Roadtrek weighed 8,000 lbs. No problem, even got 17mph. Then started towing a 5500 lbs Rainer travel trailer, no problem still, got 11 mpg and go as fast as I wanted. Ran in cruise all the time except the steeper passes. Oh yeah, always ran in tow/haul mode when towing. Also towed my Chevy car on a U-Haul car hauler trailer, so that was probably even heavier than the TT. I was absolutely amazed at how much power that 366 had.
