Dealer found it "questionable" and escalated to GM. GM considered it normal. Now have almost 40k on the truck, and generally speaking it's a tank of DEF (7 gal) every 4 tanks of fuel, which for us is 12-1500 miles. That's a comparison if it helps. I run the Wal-Mart DEF with never an issue.
Using 43 gallons in 8k miles, you've gotta problem, not sure it could leak that much that fast.
My '13 used a 2.5 gallon jug about every 3500 miles, towing didn't seem to increase usage, but it was our daily driver & was towing approximately 50%+ of the time.
