Wow, appreciate all the replies. I have to say I am leaning towards the 3.0 but actually having a hard time finding one optioned how I want. I just don't want to end up in a 6.2 with 33s getting worse mpg that my current 5.3. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

Hey all, looking for some opinions and input. I know it's been discussed but now that the 3.0 has been out a little longer I wanted to ask. I have a 2017 Z71 5.3l. It's leveled on 33-12.5 M/T. I don't tow often but plan on rowing some more in the and possibly picking up a smaller travel trailer. It does fine, but the tires definitely killed mpg, my mostly highway combined is usually 13-15. What are thoughts on 3.0l vs 6.2 in terms of both towing and mpg with larger load range E tires? I'm primarily looking at the 6.2L LT TB vs the RST Z71 3.0. From a visual standpoint I could go either way, I'd probably leave the TB alone for a while but level with wheels and tires right off the bat with the RST. Anyone have real world mpg on either engine with 33s? Or towing with either? Ive owned a 2500 in the past but want to bridge the price gap until I actually buy something large enough to justify needing the towing capability of the 2500. Thank you!
