I just bought my 2017 2500HD LTZ with a 6.0L I was thinking of going with a diesel but after reading up on the new diesel I decided against it due to the fact some are having some issues with and and I found out people are reporting only getting around 10-12 mpg towing. Sure the diesel has tons more power but it rated to tow 100# less then the gas due to the extra weight nevermind the $10,500 up charge for it.
I traded in my 2015-2500HD that had the 6.0L and it towed my 12000# fifth wheel through the mountains at 75 mph without putting it to the rug and to boot I was getting 7mpg
Don't get me wrong, The diesel is one hell of an engine but I really didn't want to pony up the extra cash when the 6.0L pulls like a brute.
If I had an extra 10k laying around it would have been a no brainer.
