The 2013 burb with the 6.0 and low mileage is the one that u should be looking at..... the 8.1 is an awesome engine, but........ drinks more the the 6.0 and is much older. With the 6.0 and 6 speed auto, ur hwy mpgs should be 17-18 or so... I get 17 mpg at 70 while driving my 2009 2500hd with the 6.0. Thatโs my take... get the low miles with the 6.0, even pulling a small camper your still fine...

But if you think you'll be hooking a 11klb boat to the back of a 5.3, you'll be woefully disappointed and overloaded.

...If you ask the rvnet contingent, most say HD suvs are stupid (recent conversation). I say they'd sell like mad for at least a while based on the lack of availability currently.

So this Suburban debate has now taken me back down the 8.1L path and part of me is still leaning towards a 4:10 model.
The 2013 2500 6.0 is one I shouldn't have looked at, :C the clean, low mile ones just look great.
There will be occasions I will tow around 10K, if we end up with a boat that may stretch to almost 11K. The boat is not entirely in the cards but with either one I purchase it will not be the daily driver.
I like the simplicity of the GMT800 2500's, but the 900's are very well rounded and the tow rating would suit 90% of my needs.
I've found a few very nice 2500 800's and the prices are surely creeping up. This will be a hard choice, either a 2015+ 5.3 highway family hauler, or a thirsty 2500.
Man I wish GM did a GMT900 with the Duramax or a stroked 6.0 and gave it a 12K rating. Would have been possibly the ultimate tow vehicle IMHO. Tough call when a cherry 100K mile 9th Gen 2500 8.1 is almost the same price as a 150K mile 10th gen 2500 6.0.

One of these days, Imma slow down to a snails pace and see if the mpg claims, like mid 20s mpg in a V8 Chevy Sub is a reality or pride of ownership claim.
Remember, your mama said, most men lie about 3 things.
The size of the fish they caught.
Gas mileage of their truck.
And the size of their weiner!
