Fuel mileage on 6.6 duramax & 6.6 gas!

[niomarvin83]

I have a 2500 6.0L and a diesel which I buy with wallworktrucks so I see the pros and cons of both. The diesel gets roughly 4-5mpg better and is comfortable towing close to double the weight. That being said the 6.0L can still tow over 10000lbs which is more than enough for most jobs. Both of mine have about 200000km and have been mostly trouble free but repairs on the diesel are more expensive. It also depends how long you intend to keep the truck, the diesel engines average time before a rebuild is 600000km so if taken care of it will last for ever. Finally the diesels extra weight means a lower payload. I love both of my trucks so it would be hard to recommend one, it all depends on your personal needs and preference.
