I have a 2014 GMC, 6.0 and 4:10 rear end, I'm getting a disappointing 8 mpg. I was hoping for more but it is what it is. I'm pulling about 11, 000 mostly in Michigan's flatland.
Second chance, you won't have any problems with your bed rail clearence. I have the 303 with a 2014 GMC 2500 but mine is a 4 door. I did buy the Curt Q20 slider as insurance. Very easy hitch to use, is color coded for tow or unlatched plus you always...
I just bought the same truck only a GMC with the 6.0 engine, either way the payload is rated the same at 3066. The payload does go up to 4190 with standard box on the 3500 HD.
