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...

Since I can't afford a Duramax, I've been looking at a 2013 GM 2500 4x4 crew cab with the 6.0 liter V8. Most of my towing will be in Northern CA which isn't exactly flat...a lot of towing into the Sierra mountains on camping trips. My old TV was a 1998 Suburban 2500 with a 454 but it's getting tired and needs to retire from towing.Truth is, I wasn't very happy with the performance of the 454 anyway. The 6.0 with the 6 speed trans seems like the likely choice but I would hate to spend this much money if I would be disappointed with the towing ability of this truck. Wish I could rent one for a test tow. Anyone out there towing with the 6.0 with a TT comparable to mine?
I had a 2009 GMC 6.0 and it was a dawg towing my 5vr. It got about 6-7 mpg towing to California and back. Bought a new 2013 Durmax and never regretted it once. Get 13-15 mpg towing now.
