I just towed my 25' 6000 lb. travel trailer from Minnesota to Wyoming and back last week with my 23 High Country 6.2. 1700 miles total and I averaged 8.5 mpg. Wind was around 15- 20 mph in my face both ways.

Wind is a huge factor towing a travel trailer. 

Lots of long grades are too.

I’ll be pulling it back up there over the holidays. I have a bunch of work up there so I will be taking the same path up a loaded the same way. I am by no means knocking the 2.7t this is a great motor. VERY surprising in the power and mileage when not loaded. Love the truck. The custom  4x4 was on loan to me for about a week from a friend of mines dealership. I loved the truck. The next month I had the RST 5.3 z71 I had 250 miles on it. I pulled my tractor and trailer back. I fell in love with both trucks. I went with the RST because I got one hell of a deal. The custom was a loaner they use there and had 23000 roughly miles on it.  So yeah I love them both. I’m thinking of ordering a new custom trail boss with the 2.7t for my wife for Christmas. She love her Subaru and it is a great car but it drives 92 miles round trip to work 5 days a week. I figure that way I can have both to play with, and she will not have to run the miles up on her truck. LolIMG_9973.thumb.jpeg.1cd0cb344e7831ebf81546db15da296f.jpeg

When I was pulling up until the early 2000s my pulling heavy MPGs was the same with gas or diesel. At that time the TQ ratings were close to the same. Today the big diesels across the brands are so powerful that medium and light pulling is effortless so the mileage is better. Is it worth the upgrade is the question.

I get better than that with my 2017 6.2. Really makes you feel good about the over the top price of these new trucks.

Only one way to be a RV puller and that is diesel! But then I am old school from back when they built real trucks!

Funny you say that. In the 70s our one tons pulled campers and hay trailers. Our one ton Ford had a modified 390 and our Chevy had a 454. Later we pulled a 4 horse trailer with a camper combo that slept 6. A 2 ton GMC with a gas V-6 and a two speed rear axle pulled it easily. One of our first equipment pulling rigs was a converted 2 ton wrecker that had a 6 cylinder and a two speed rear axle. Our first diesel puller was a one ton Ford with a non turbo 7.3 in 1988. It didn’t pull any better than the previous until we put a banks turbo kit on it. The 6.5 Chevy diesel did ok in 1/2 tons, they weren’t load pullers to speak of. That all changed with the Cummins Dodge the Ford 7.3 turbo. Later GM finally upped their diesel game, it took awhile. Finally there’s parity but that’s pretty recent.

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      By parthery · Posted

      Some clarification may help with some of these issues.   - Rev Industries is/was the division of BAK (now Realtruck) that makes covers under the OEM names.  So if you see one with a Ford logo on it, or if you are buying the GM Accessories cover, you are essentially buying a BAK G2 cover with different branding.   - Rev Industries now markets under RealTruck "Advantage."   - As of May 1, 2025, the Advantage covers now have a 5 year warranty.  Anything before that was a 36/36K warranty.   - Parts for the covers are available from Realtruck or BAK.  The email address to reach them is [email protected] or you can call them at 818-365-9000   - If the entire cover has to be replaced, you have to go through your local GM dealer.  Service dept opens an RO, notes the damage and submits it as a warranty claim.  Keep your paperwork handy so they can confirm when you purchased it and it's within the warranty timeframe.  Once the warranty claim is approved, Parts orders the replacement cover.  When it arrives at the dealership, service will remove and install the new one for free as labor is included under warranty.   - The Advantage covers are not the latest and greatest Gen 3 covers.  They still use the old school clamps, elevator bolts, etc...If you want the newer technology, consider buying your cover in the aftermarket world.  That way, if you have an issue you can deal directly with the manufacturer.   - Finally, RealTruck has a program with many of their authorized dealers that doubles the warranty to 10 years if the authorized dealer does the install.     Hope this helps.

      Welcome to the group!  My '22 just crossed 150K miles.  Runs perfectly.  Oil pump belt will be done in the next 30 days or so and onward hopefully for another 150K.  Love the truck.

      Still looks like a rivet to me in the pics, I don't see a nut and none of the pics show the head of the screw. But if you says so.....

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!
