Ram 2500/Ford F250/Chevy 2500-GAS Engines Towing

I forgot to add: when pulling my fifth wheel, I get 7.5-8.5. I have seen 9 mpg in Florida, if pulling my car hauler I get 11-12. Now empty I get 14-15 city, 17-18 now on highway. I have seen it in the 22 mpg in the city when driving 45 or so. The mpg pulling the camper will vary with terrain so consider that. I went with a custom tune so I'm curious what I will get when I pull the camper next time. Regardless I think that all the gas jobs will get similar. Either make or model its up to you. My thoughts are to drive them all and pick ur best one. All are good in my book, I just like the gm series trucks more. The dodge offers both the 5.7 and 6.4 hemi, both are good engines. Regarding the Ford 6.2, it's also a good truck and engine combo. In fact I was looking for an F350 single rear wheel with the 6.2 prior my GMC purchase. Next truck will be another gas job with the 3500 single rear wheel and most likely the GM series, though this won't happen for many years to come. Good luck keep us updated.

'09 Chevy 2500, 6.0 towing 28'TT.
No issues except my DIC started with a "service trailer brake" warning the other day and now I have no trailer brakes.
Goes to the dealer Monday to find what is wrong.

2014 Chevy 2500HD 6.0 with 4.10 rearend pulling almost 10k 36ft travel trailer. Has plenty of power but LOVES gas. Just got back from OBX and got 8.0 mpg down and 7.4 mpg back. Be prepared for the engine to rev going up the hills. Was able to to keep it between 55-60 mph going up Sandstone Mounrain on I-64 in WV. Sure diesels have more power but it is not a race to see who can get to the top of a hill the fastest in the lowest RPMs possible.

Looking for a new truck???

Rig combo in signature, ~9200lbs loaded, overall pretty happy with the 6.0 so far. Just let the motor rev (3k+ rpm), and get the trans in the right gear and away you will go up the hills. If you keep it under 3k rpm, you won't be happy. My towing is the typical 8-10, figured by hand. But my DIC is always about .2-.3mpg on the low side. Non towing the truck loves 55-60mph on 2 lane roads, and under 70mph on the e-way. Keep a steady speed in those ranges and the mpg jumps way up. Otherwise it's about 14ish e-way (with the crazy traffic heading up north which almost becomes stop and go!!!) and just under that combined.

We just purchased a 2015 F250 Platinum Quad cab with the tow package. 6.2L gas with a 6 speed. Towing a 7,000+/-# Sunnybrook. I wanted a diesel but this truck presented itself. 14.5mpg around town and towing through the hills of Ct & Mass we averaged 12.5 mpg. The onboard brake controller is a huge step up from the Prodigy I had in the Burb. Somehow the on board computer can sense the load & deceleration and apply the proper amount of amps. I always felt I was getting pushed in the Burb while braking but now, stops straight, true and quickly. I was a Chevy man but this Ford is a beast. Plenty of power, easy towing, very impressed. We made a great purchase.

Towing 10K+ with a 6.2, 3:73 gears. Tows great.

Hello! 1996 Ram 2500 Hd-SLT. V-10, 4-whl Disc. Limited Slip, 8,800 Lbs. Just shy of 300,000 miles, next oil change will put it over 300,000. Alpine-Lite 96, 31RL Augusta, 13,600.

Chevy 6.0 2500, CC, 4x4. Pulls my 34' TT very well. As a matter of fact, just pulled for over 500 miles today, with all 6 family members and full gear!! It's too bad those silly TT tires are limited to just 65mph, because the truck begs to pull faster!!

The one negative I would say is the the cruise control is lazy and allows the speed to drop 1-3mph quite frequently.

Gm 6.0 pulling 10k no issues

2015 GMC Sierra 2500 w 6.0 towing a 26ft travel trailer loaded weight 7500lb. Tows great.
