2020 Chevy 6.6 Tow Review

Here's an owner of a 2020 6.6 gas truck towing ~13.5k lb 5ver. Gas mileage appears to be low and power appears to be adequate with the 6 speed. And for that front end... Need I say more :E.

I don't think the truck in the video cost nearly that much. I didn't spend anywhere close to that for my new LTZ deisel. You can still have a nice truck without spending that kind of money gas or deisel.

25 min, no CC for us semi deaf folks......
I don't like it! Video that is.

I do like color of truck. Think I'll keep looking for a used 2014-18 model. Like that body style, almost, dang near as good as 88-2000 body style that I've had three of.

I'll be odd man out. I like the front end. I like all of the new trucks. I just won't be able to afford a 70K truck.

^Well there's an @ss for every seat, my dad used to say.
GM was certainly not interested in one upping the competition with the new 6.6 gasser, but I'm sure it's ok based on the outgoing 6.0s. Just underwhelming from a performance and numbers standpoint for an all new model.
Regarding looks, IMO, ram and ford haven't made an ugly duckling truck in a long time, but Chevy/GMC, thank god they offer the same truck with different front clips. Sometimes the Chevy looks kool, sometimes the gmc....but when one gets smacked with the ugly stick, at least the other usually looks decent.

I like the look of the new GMCs although the grille area looks a little busy.
Can't understand why GM took a good looking truck in the '19 half tons and ran it into a wall to make the '20 HD look though.

Ha' how we see things.

In the hunt for new gas truck and find the Chevy's best looking but can't dismiss the Ram 6.4 and now Fords 7.3....taking my time.

The GMC version is less "dramatic" than the Chevy version. I think the GMC version looks better, but I dont find the Chevy too ugly to buy. However, like you said, that is subjective.

I looks like it pulls well there. I think when the 10 speed gets in the truck it will be much better. Good looking truck though.


Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Not my cup of tea... not by a mile. That front end ruins what otherwise would be a very appealing truck for me.
