Yes and no...I bought a 2004 2500 burb with the 8.1l. I haven't trailered it yet but I'm wondering if I could've gotten along with the 6.0l. I know there's no replacement for displacement. I moved to this from the good old 6.5 diesel burb and am getting 2/3 the mileage (was expecting close to the same not towing) but I bet the towing will be great (can't afford a Duraburb). You are right Norsky, it is a hobby fine tuning your rig to help it be at its best when you need it (no one other than you will understand this obsession). And yes, it is a daily driver but I'm going to get that solved by getting another minivan (both my burb and minivan died within two weeks of each other in Feb). But I love the power (buwahahaha!!) For me, it is brad nailing with a sledge hammer. I just can't bring myself to buying just what I need (1/2 ton, 2wd, smaller motor, better mileage). I like to know it will out perform the inevitable challenges (we call them adventures) that seem to follow me whence I go...but that little thing sits in the back of your head "you shoulda bought different", it's hard to get past that sometimes.
