I don't really tow enough heavy stuff to warrant the diesel. Heck, I could probably get by with the 5.3 in a half ton, but this is a really clean used rig with low miles for the year, and a heck of a buy. I suppose the 6 liter has pretty good power? mtmuley

i have a 04 gmc with the 6.0 liter it has a 6" lift and 35" tires with 4:11 gears i took it to utah from cali and got 14 miles per gal.there and back. when i got home i installed an aftermarket exhaust,air filter,throttle body spacer.mass air flow sensor,and a hypertech programmer.the next year i went to wyoming and got 12 miles per gal. round trip! from everything i read all of those mods were supposed to improve fuel milage but it didnt it hurt it right now i get about 13 on the hiway and about 10 in town.

Unless you need a 3/4 ton I would get the 1/2 ton with the 6.2 liter. You'll get another 2 to 4 miles to the gallon, and the ride is alot better. When you tow something heavy usually an equalizer hitch handles the extra weight well enough.
