    2019 GMC Denali with 6.2. Stock except tonneau cover. Mixed city and highway over 1000 mile period = 17.5. Highway trips = 20.5. Pulling Polaris Ranger 1000 with full windshield on aluminum trailer = 10.5 - 13.0 depending on terrain. Very happy with my truck. Came from a F250 with Powerstroke

    I only run 93 about every 10th tank. Run 87 the rest of time.

    I like all trucks! I’m just a truck guy. I currently have a 2019 GMC Denali 1500 with 6.2 engine. If not for a 6.2 engine, I would not be driving a GM product. I think both the Ram and Ford are better looking trucks and both have much nicer interiors. But, in my opinion, neither RAM or Ford has an engine in a half ton that holds a candle to the 6.2. I am a firm believer in the 6.2 and not afraid to admit it. I’ve owned (3) 5.3 trucks and would not even consider GM if this was the only engine available.

    Short trips

    One thing to consider is who will fix the diesel when it breaks. My dealership only has 1 diesel mechanic and he is always behind. You could be without your vehicle for extended periods of time.

    I have the truck. Not a SUV. Owners manual says up to 7,000 pounds a weight distribution hitch is optional.

    So if I was to get load under 5000 Pounds, I can go without a weight distribution hitch?

    Hello All! I’m back in the GMC family as I recently purchased a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali with 6.2L and 10 Speed Transmission. I love this truck. I came back to GM from the dark side having been in a Ford Powerstroke. I just didn’t like the upkeep of a diesel. Now to my question... I tow a 8.5 X 18 enclosed trailer that weighs 3000 pounds empty. My Polaris Ranger weighs 2300 pounds and I plan on having an additional 400 pounds of gear in trailer for a total of 5700 pounds. I’m well within towing range of truck but do I need to run a Weight Distribution hitch? Thanks for any advice!

    I’ve owned (2) 5.3 Liters and (1) 6.2 Liter which I currently have. The only reason I am still with GM is because of the 6.2 Liter. If this engine was not available, I would be in a Hemi or 5.0 Ford.

    For you guys running a 4" or 4.5" lift on 33's - what kind of MPG are you getting? Spoke with a dealer who installs 6" BDS lifts and puts 35" tires on them. They told me after speedo recalibrate, the trucks get 12 MPG. I love the look but cannot handle that much fuel loss.
