Re: Gm 6.0 litre v v t v8 tow vehicle engine
I had a 2000 with the 6.0 and pulled a 24’ enclosed trailer (9500 LBS) and it pulled ok. You will get 6-7 mpg. My dad had 2007 5.3 (3:73 gear) he pulled a 20’ enclosed trailer and that work ok. when he bought a 2012 5.3 it had 3:43 and the 6 speed trany it wouldn’t pull it. so he traded it in and bought one with the 6.2 (3:73 gear) and that has a lot of pulling power. If you plan on doing a lot of pulling get a Duramax. I have a 2011 duramax now and the difference is night and day. Once you pull with a diesel you will never go back. Brett

Re: Gm 6.0 litre v v t v8 tow vehicle engine
I had a 2013 Chevy crew cab 6.0 2500 4 wheel 4.10, it made it to 5000 miles and I trade for new 1500, the 1500 5.3. With 3.46 gears pulled better than the 6.0 and got better mileage. Tom
