Does anyone have a 6.2 w/ Max Tow Package?

[f8l vnm]

There is no truck out there with a 3k payload rating that gets 25mpg. Unless I’m missing something ?

I tried to build and price a max tow on the web site. I saw some towing options, but nothing like max tow or trailering. I like being able to hold 3k pounds in the bed of my truck, but 13 mpg gets old, when I read about 25 mpg on the hi way in a truck that hauls ass.

I'll put the 4 wheeler on the trailer instead of in the bed, right. 1200 pounds of tools and crap in the box and under the rear seat, that can go on a half ton....

 

And I found that I was trying to put it on the trail Boss, no go.

Max Trailering Package is $ 850 you make the choice on Packages page.

Mine is 19 HC 6.2l Standard bed with max tow trailering package.

Nice truck, Block. CC standard bed is the way to go! ?

[SilveradoX2]

To get the Max Tow package to show reliably I always would choose short bed, CC, 4x4, 6.2L, LTZ, then go to Packages. Max Tow should be there. If you make other choices, the website might tell you that Max Tow isn't available. 

 

Block8head - Max Tow didn't use to be available for the High Country.  Is that new for 2019, or special order?

That’s a good looking truck! What’s the payload on the door sticker?

[avalonandl]

I drove a 19' 6.2 Max Tow. It was a nice looking vehicle. These look MUCH better in person- lots of curves you don't see. The seating position is nice, like my seats in my 2015 HD better. Lots of power, the 10 speed is a little different. Controls are nice, but further away. More room in the cab. Drives nice, but the 2500 has a feeling of more solid/stiff ride. Going to keep the HD.

[avalonandl]

The truck I drove had the standard stereo, it was not highly optioned. You WANT the BOSE system....

That’s a pretty impressive number. I just purchased a 2018 GMC 2500HD SLT All-Terrain crew cab regular bed Duramax and it’s payload is only 1,984lbs. It’s got nearly every option, including sunroof & gooseneck prep kit, which pulls payload capacity. My friend with a 2015 Duramax LTZ without those two options has around a 2,300lb rating. Gotta go gas or get a stripped down diesel to get respectable payload in a 3/4t truck.
