Sierra Hd Versus Tundra Towing

[Bear68]

I mentioned when camping season rolls around I would let everyone know the towing experience between my old truck Tundra and my new 2011 Sierra HD. Been busy with baseball and camping....anyway....the Sierra pulls great! Unlike the Tundra I don't know the camper is even behind me...with the heavy duty suspension and the box frame, I really like how it rides...and the piece of mind I have hauling everything plus our family of six is priceless. Gas mileage is about the same although I did get 12 mpg on one trip and 7 mpg on another trip so can't figure that one out yet, but we are getting ready to go on a longer trip so that should be a good indication of mpg. No complaints with the Sierra...I do wish it had a little more horsepower...not saying I need it though. Very pleased with the Sierra HD!!!!

Congratulations and glad you are loving your HD, they are awesome indeed. Do you have the 6.0 or the Duramax?

Just got back from a 2,000 mile trip pulling our camper (around 8k lbs.) plus all six of us and a truck bed full of bikes and other gear. The Sierra performed very well. We used 276 gallons of fuel (6.0 gas) on our trip and averaged 8 mpg....is this similiar mpg HD owners are getting? Just curious...

That's about what I'm averaging while towing my trailer. In the 12s unloaded.
