So how does your 6.0 tow your 32BHDS vs. your old 8.1 I see from your sig. you have had both

My 6.0 with 6sp tows my 32BHDS as good or better than the 8.1. I initially did it with the benefit of being able to use a new 2500HD with the 6.0 and 3.73; and without the benefit of calculating out the ratio's. If you look at the tables that APT has done, you will see why it works better.

Additionally, the new truck gets 14 mpg versus 11 mpg from the old (monthly average of mixed use).

I was hoping to get a new 1500 2014 Silverado with the 5.3 and 3.42 that is rated at 9700lb to test towing the trailer. However, I have only found them with the 3.08 or with the 4.3.
