We have a 2012 3500 High Output Diesel 4 X 4. I am getting about 12.5 mpg around town. On our trip from Las Vegas to Michigan I got approximately 11 mpg pulling my 2013 Sundance 26' 5th wheel.
I am not exactly pleased with either of the mileages. I am actually considering trading for a Hemi as the price of gasoline is so much cheaper.
Any thoughts? My wife personally thinks the diesel will have more "get up and go" when going through the mountains.
Your wife is correct and she will also not like a gasser screaming at her when climbing.
She really won't like when your brakes start to overheat and your knuckles are turning white with the death grip on the steering wheel as you contemplate using the run away lane!
Gassers have their place it's just not pulling heavy loads.
