We have 2001 GMC 3500 CC DRW with the 8.1 gas and Allison auto trans. We pull a 2010 Fuzion 383 touring Edition 11 toyhauler with a Harley Tri Glide in the garage. We are fulltimers and started traveling this year putting 15,000 miles on since June. From Texas to Alaska and back to Texas with 6 weeks on the Oregon coast. A few places along the way we were slow going up hills but still made it to top and down the other side, I personaly don't mind slow only drive about 60 mph anyway. Would a new diesel truck be nice, heck yea. But we had the '01 GMC a long time and to trade and spend $40,000 to $50,000 just to get 4 more mpg and pull a little faster could not justifiy cost. To each their own for us it was keep what we had and spend the money seeing this beautiful country. Not aginst diesels just aginst spending money not working and no pay check for a couple of years makes you look at things a little differently. Thankful for what we have and are able to see. George
