I have a 21 year old 3/4 Chevy plow & trailer hauling truck, only thing that ever broke was 1 starter and 1 brake line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anler Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 The gmc 6.0 is just a work horse. I've had a dozen of them and they just run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 All of the 6L the truck fell apart before the engine crapped out. Ours are on the road every day and all of the ones we retired had at least 250k on them. That's work miles not grocery getting miles. Trucks loaded with equipment or material.

Yes. 154,000 miles on mine. Just had the original brakes done last week, uses no oil and runs like a top. The 2020 plus have the 6.6.

DriftBusta Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Pretty pleased with my 19 RAM 2500. 6.4 with the 8 speed works great, had the MDS but you can defeat it. Not the torquiest thing I've ever owned but has a lotta snort if you put your leg into it. Rips along on the highway great, I found myself hitting 90 95 MPH several times last weekend coming home from Maine. The suspension is nice and tight, no rattles or squeaks so far in 15k miles. Has great seats too, nice and firm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the seats in my ford are a bit more comfortable with a longer bottom cushion but the motor pulls well and gets decent fuel economy. better towing than my EB slightly less with no load.

Not a 2020 (T1 platform) model year you didn’t. 2 hours ago, ACE said: I thought the 2020+ were all 6.6 now They are. The 6.6 GM is a stronger running engine than the 6L ever was. The 6 speed is disappointing. Rumor that the 10L1000 from the Duramax trucks is coming to the 6.6 gas trucks for ‘22+. That would make that engine one sweet piece for a gasser. I am unfortunately wrecked now with my Duramax. As long as I have sizable trailers to drag around, I’ll have a 3/4 ton diesel truck now. Edited February 19, 2021 by SayatodaU.P.eh?

I’ll mostly be commuting, maybe some stuff in the box. Some hauling. If I ever need to pull a load a further distance I still have my Dmax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a top line model, cloth seats, I believe chrome wheels. But it's a darn nice truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Short of looks of some older models, I just can't seem to really justify owning a 2500. But I would if I found the right one. I can see getting all Duramaxed and Alissoned up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got away with pulling campers and sled trailers for years with 1/2 tons but it only took pulling the wife’s current camper once to know that I wasn’t going back.
