I have a 2009 gmc 1/2 5.3 with 51,255 miles. I love my truck. upgraded tires, camper shell. I have been pulling my 34 ft trailer loaded 6400 lbs. have 2 kayaks on top. have traveled all over CA and Oregon. love my truck.
I am upgrading to 10,000 lb 5th so I will trade my truck in on a new 3500 CC diesel. my truck never has a problem pulling or stopping. yes I downshift when going up a long hill, but on this 4000 mile trip I have averaged 12.9 so far. towing usually 10-12 running around 15-18 freeway 19-23. so I do not think you need a diesel. they are only wanting to give me 1700 for mine, so I think you could find something to buy for no more than 20,000 that will do the trick.
good luck
