Look at gen-y hitch, they have just about anything you can imagine. Yes they’re expensive but they’re super heavy duty, very quick and easy to adjust and versatile. I have a 2020 2500 and a 0-9” drop and nothing but happy with it, it will do anything you need to do and it’s a Pintle as well, can be flipped over for a 0-9” raise hitch. Paid about 400 bucks for mine with a locking pin. I would never buy another hitch after owning this one

Hey everyone, So I got my new truck in February. A 2020 Chevy 2500 cc lt trim. Gas engine. So living here in the rust belt of the northeast the best thing I have found so far for rust prevention is fluid film, so I sprayed the entire chassis and underbody of my truck about a week after I bought it. Few weeks go by and the rear suspension starts to squeak and clunk. It has gotten a little worse as the weather has warmed up, now I can tell the squeak is clearly the shackle bushings, and they even squeak just by stepping on the running boards or back bumper now. The clunk I haven’t figured out yet but it seems to only be at low speeds on unlevel ground. It can be noticed by shaking the truck side to side by the hitch when parked. I have fluid filmed a few other of my own vehicles and a few for friends, no complaints from any others but none of them were brand new either. Fluid film does state that it can cause certain types of rubber to swell, and I assume this is the shackle bushing squeak. So my question to everyone, is anyone else having any rear suspension clunks? Low speed particularly? Anyone else have experience fluid filming a brand new truck?

I’ve got a 6.6 gas lt trim and tow a 10,000lb mini excavator on an equipment trailer with a conventional pintel hitch, and it handles it no problem, strongest gas powered truck that I’ve ever towed with. no mountain experience yet maybe someone else can help you there.

You nailed it buddy.

Have you driven one? You won’t be disappointed. And what are you towing/ or doing that you need more than 400 hp? That’s quite sufficient. And 15 mpg isn’t bad for a 3/4 ton gas powered truck nowadays, mine is getting north of 16 on the highway. Try one out, you’ll like it. As for keeping the 6 speed, maybe it’s just the old don’t what isn’t broke

I can agree to all over the place experience with Chevy/ ford, I know a lot of ford owners that are happy with their trucks other than the ride quality, here in the rustbelt of Rhode Island I have most experience with the gen 99-07 trucks and their downfall was rust and electronics, other than that near bulletproof. We have a good friend near us that has a 2004 and 2008 f250s and seems to constantly put manifolds and front ends on them. Sorry to get the discussion away from being happy with the 6.6 gas! Towed again today and it reminded me that I forgot to say how happy I was with all the cameras on the truck making trailering alone much easier. I also think/hope the electronic parking brake is going to be a big improvement for us here in the rust belt

Hi everyone I’m a newcomer here decided to join as I just bought a 2020 Chevy 2500 lt z71, ccsb with the l8t. We love the truck more than we thought we would, huge improvement over the 6.0, which IMO had very few flaws, never owned one but many family members and friends have and I have driven many. I see a lot of people complaining about the 3:73s on here, I’m assuming these people haven’t driven one, our truck averages 14.5 all around and the wife had it getting 16.5 on a 50 mile stretch of 2 lane cruising around 55. This is great mileage for the size and power of these trucks. Only towing iv done so far is my father in laws 10k lb Kubota excavator and I was extremely impressed for a gas powered truck, no complaints. Trip was only about 15 miles on hilly backroads, no highway towing yet but I will share my experience with it as it comes. As for everyone saying that ford is outdoing gm in the drivetrain department, I have yet to see a ford truck that is as trouble free and long lasting as the gm trucks with the 6 liter were. And I know a lot of ford owners and I drive one for a work vehicle. Hopefully the 6.0 reliability caries over in the l8t. So overall extremely happy with our new truck. As I said I’m a newcomer here and I’m also the happy owner of many 99-06 gen 5.3 vehicles, a truck, a Yukon, and a burb. I have quite a bit of experience working on these and would be happy to help anyone looking for advice.
