Just got back from a camping trip with Dad and brother from the mountains of N.C. pulling a 30' travel trailer loaded with gear weight about 13,000. '11 2500 duramax. Gotta say I couldn't believe how that thing would pull those mountains with nary a strain! Set the cruise control and engine brake and it would hold the speed up and down automatically. That 6 speed allison is something else. I will say, My dad has said his fuel mileage around town unloaded and day to day was only 13-14 mpg but when he took trip to my house on the coast (about 265 miles) He got 24 mpg! I guess it does need to be used more than short runs. The mountain trip w/trailer was 10.5 mpg. But with the road conditions, interstate 40 in western Carolina to Tennessee is rather challenging. Not to mention the last 30 miles with up to 12 percent grades and twisting roads. All in all, about 7,000 miles on it and seems to be worth it.
