5.3 vs 6.2 GM gas
When towing a smaller engine does not always give better mpg.
In fact I think you will find the 6.2 GM will give as good if not better mpg than any of the competition in gas engines.
Good luck finding a 6.2 from GM without paying an arm or leg. GM needs to put this engine in lower trim models like Ford does with its 3.5 EB. I second the opinion that you could find a 3/4 ton with more capability for a similar price if you look around. It will have all the features you're looking for and if you ever upgrade your trailer, you'll have plenty of truck. All three brands make great heavy duty trucks.
