3/4 ton gasser gas mileage?
Monday we are going to try out a 3/4 ton gas Silverado 3/4 ton, 4.1 axle ratio, 4WD. Going from a Tundra because we've run out of GVWR on the truck (because we take too much stuff). We get 8-9 MP...

We get 8-9 MPG in the Tundra towing 8K lbs. What kind of gas mileage is anyone getting in the 3/4 ton gas Chevy's or GMC's with similar gear ratio --- solo and towing ???
Thanks.
How much are you overloading the Tundra?
If I were you I'd skip the 6.0. I think you're going to be less happy with the trucks performance, empty and loaded. Might be better off finding a newer F250 gasser. Or find a Chevy with the 6.2. Otherwise I'd just jump into a diesel.
I overload my truck (Tundra) and it doesn't complain. It's just a great towing platform. Add airbags and E rated tires and the Tundra won't break a sweat being overloaded. (let the weight police b*tching commence).
